How do my bearings look ?

mbaird said

I did not touch them .
I figured I would replace them but from a diagnostic standpoint I would like to know if there is an issue.

While we are on the subject ... here is the deck finish . I am running cometic head gaskets and they require a surface finish of 50RA or finer. I dont know what that looks like. Can you tell by this pic?

To know the surface finish you really need a profilometer. And I think Cometic has revised the surface finish number. To use the eye test method the surface should look like a mirror, and not be burnished.
Some of those bearings look like dirt went through them. The cam bearings look like you had low idle oil pressure. That will buff the Babbitt to a shine like that.
