Pulling off the cam cover, and removing Bank 1 camshafts we found that the cam-adjuster plunger was stuck which is probably why the car was idling rough.

The larger concern was that we noticed that one bearing surface on the intake camshaft (on cylinder 3 near the chains) was very rough and worn. All bearing surfaces were very clean and smooth exempt this one (see picture).
• Q1 - Anyone know what would have caused this?
• Q2 – Suggestions on how to fix this bearing surface on a) the head and b) the camshaft bearing cap?
• Q3 - How to prevent this from happening again?

This is a weird one and need any HELP / suggestions you may have.
My suggestion wouold be that before you come in here and start looking for help first introduce yourself. Could you do that? smmfh
