*facepalm, are they really upside down? I cant believe I made that mistake, I actually just finished bleeding and re installing the lifters now, nothing seemed wrong with them, just oil came out, do they still need to be replaced? I have another set of them from my last engine if need be.
I believe my worst rod bearing was 2 for some reason, 1 and 4 were bad, and 3 was weirdly not to bad, but still bad.
Luckily it's an eagle crank so it's an allen to open the oil passages.
As for the crank journals, the number 2 one is the worst, the main dont look to bad, (pictures below) when I got the crank from eagle it already had the mains ground down .01 (or .1, which ever is normal)
So hopefully I wont need them machined, I was able to make a post asking if I need to machine the rod journals, but as you'll see in the picture. It's not pretty, unfortunately I had already ordered the rod bearings
