Rebuilding engines is like paint work, the prep is the most important part. If rebuilt every oil passage, in-block filter, VVT sprockets, Oil pump gears, etc will be cleaned multiple times. Will likely also put a magentic drain plug in it and change the oil & filter after running up to operating temp. Can't be too careful....
Good news, machine shop says they can micropolish the cams and carriers. Should have them back in a few days.
