Just a quick question: I'm inspecting an engine I am planning to swap into my car. These are the worst looking rod bearings. Is it good to go or are these light scratches something to be worried about? I am not that experienced with engine internals.

Just looks like some trash in the oil. Do yourself a solid and replace the rod AND main bearings along with the thrust washer. Bearings are cheap. Every motor F series motor I have taken apart always has an excessively worn center main.

What does the crank look like?

Thanks for the advice, Charper

rpg, the crank looks perfect, I cannot spot any imperfections on it. Unfortunately didn't take pictures of that.
