How do my old rod bearings looks?

Swapped with BE bearings and ARP bolts at BMW ONLY in Las Vegas NV @ 60k miles

We try to pile them up here: https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1253084

Incl plenty replaced shells for your ref mate.

I wonder about the lines showing on all of them perpendicular to bearing spin direction. I've never noticed that before. For 60,000 the wear is a little excessive IMO but seemingly typical.

I'm pretty sure the mains are TTY bolts. You should have no problem removing main caps and re-installing them for inspection. Do you have the engine removed? I would swap out all the bearings anyways, get the crank polished etc. If there is trash in the cam bearings, the mains most likely have imbedded crap too.

This is not a Chevy. No main caps, no cam bearings...Crank surface is hardened -not able to be polished in the traditional sense.
