I think you're OK

If the cam turns easily, and all surfaces are smooth, and it is getting oil, then I wouldn't worry about it. You could "mic" the journals and the cam to be sure of the clearances.

I put one like yours back together with a used cam and rockers and it worked fine.

I know what you mean about the torquing process!
