Rod bearings done....pics of old bearings
I installed new connector rod bearings tonight and used all new connector rod nuts.
Here's some pictures of the old bearings. The bearings are lined up in the order that they came out of the the engine....left to right corresponds to the back of the engine to the front.
The pictures have more of a copper color than they actually do in normal light. I guess the flash from the camera brings out the copper shade that doesn't show up under the regular garage lights.

Those have alot of side wear on them Dave. I can't tell if the wear is in the center or the sides, reversed. If it were me, alone, I would button it back up.
If it were my mechanic, who helped me "go the extra mile" in some cases on my 78 build, he would probably check clearances on the torqued rods, and maybe polish or grind crank and use oversized rod bearings. Just FYI.

Yep, thought so. I wouldn't worry either. Good luck.
