cam lobes
Explanation:
That's the part of a cam shaft which gets to touch the tappets. While I'm aware that my suggestion is no exact translation, it should cover the meaning.

cam surfaces


Explanation:
I think this can be translated simply as "surfaces" -
"the contact areas between cup tappets and cam surfaces must be lubricated after fitting.."

  -> "cam lobes" is usually "nockenkappen" - the "nockenbahn" (cam track) is much larger, it is the space in which the lobes move
