I'm just about to do a first oil change after the swap

Here's some pictures. I'll try to take better ones once I have more time.

Bearings (~38K miles):


I noticed quite a bit of wear on the back side edges of bearings. This is definitely a source of magnetic metal specs:


There was also some wear on bearing side edges (better picture to follow):


And the gem - motor mounts:
From the picture the shells looks very good. Thought mine was ok (37k) but yours seems even better. Any close ups mate?

I changed my RB's the first time around 30,000 and they looked like poop! I removed those replacements around 150,000 due to cracking my oil pan on road debris and those looked great! Even were patterns and leagues better than the originals at only 30,000.

I was thinking the same thing - those look worse than mine at 63K miles when I had them replaced.
