Can these cams be reused?
Purchased a motor from a bike that caught fire.
Now for the cams
Did some research and the cams are web 395/378 I think
What do you guys think can they be reused?

Look ok, but , Get a caliper and measure from bottom to top of lobe, turn cam 90* and then measure base circle of lobe, ( round part at the centerline of Base} subtract from height = lift.
Measure all lobes, bearing surfaces.

Also you need some very fine emery cloth and clean the areas up to see close up the actual damage, I know you havent cleaned them but you need to to confirm any damage or wear......then post some close ups of the lobes..

Heat was mostly above them, they have virtually no color change and would not affect the temper, clean up the bearing surfaces and lobes with some fine wet paper , just to remove the rust and baked on oil and check for baked oil inside the cam , also check straightness with a dial gauge , if one side was heated and the other not it may bend the cam slightly , otherwise if that all checks out i would use them without a second thought
The aluminium cam caps would be damaged well before the cams
