So I took my head to the machine shop to be decked and cleaned.
Got the head back today, pulled the cams out and the Cam Journals were Sand blasted. The polished finish is no more. Can these be repolished or am i completely screwed? Why would anyone do that to begin with?

Yea, I dunno. Our heads never come back looking like that, they just get tanked. You should ask the shop what media they blasted it with. Wipe the journals down with a light oil like WD40 and see if they wipe clean or wipe dark, if they wipe dark then you need to clean the head really well as it's full of powdered metal from the blasting which means they didn't tank it post blast. I'd double check their valve job work and the shims for proper clearances.
