So now there is no lubrication on cams? Can that be good?

after washing engine parts with hot soapy water you should always give it a coat of some WD-40 to prevent rust/oxidization.
And make sure to put some assembly lube or at least engine oil on the cam/lobes/rockers before start up.

good job and best of all, the effort you made to take everything out and DIY. Most ppl wont risk it but it feels nice when somebody does it. Great work.
