Default cam problem?

Look at my exhaust cam in pic,
my Dyna 07' FXDi has only ~5k miles, all stock, and the exhaust lobes show witness from the rollers of the hydraulic lifters.

This bike only carries 3 Qts of oil, any thoughts of why this is? Oil pressure? Lack of oil?

I discovered this while changing cam bearings, and will also be swapping cams to a set of Andrew's with quickee pushrods. Crank runout was less than .003" also.

The cam in the back of the photo is normal, the front one is not. Maybe a local mechanic will help you out?
