Hello,
I was reinstalling my camshaft yesterday andf I got a couple of questions about that.
First, The repair manual calls for sealant or the front and rear cap bearings. I put red RTV silicone. Is that ok?

On the rear camshaft bearing on the head part there is a circular scratch. Width is about the same as the oil hole. Should I leave it like that? The car is not as clean as to justify a new head if it can work like that.

On the camshaft "bearing surfaces" there is a groove on the rear one , and the front one. Shuld they be there or were the grooves done by the same object that scratched the bearing cap?
Thanks!

By the way the car is a 1986 760 Turbo if this might matter
