I agree with both Lowell and Richard on this one.
While I think Geoff at Colt can do great things and is the only one I would trust for this, I also know that even if you take stock cams and put mismatched, but factory spec cam caps and put them on the head, correctly torqued and lubed, you will probably still run into problems. the tolerances are tight and the "bearings" are just the aluminum of the caps and head.
IF Geoff says he can save them, and if you want to pull your head and have the caps line honed to match the cams, then go for it. if that's even possible. if not, sounds like the end of the line for these ones.
