I bought a 2006 K24a2 from a member on K20a.org, its supposed to have around 35k miles on it. The cams have these marks and very small pits on some of profiles. Should i be worried about this or be thinking about replacing them?

If they are pitted you should replace them. Is it actually rough in those areas? Hard to tell from the pic.

If those spots are not pits I wouldn't worry about it. Use some solvent and try to wipe the spots off - maybe its just dried oil/liquid spots.
