Just a ? ... is this bearing wear normal? (56K beware)
Took out my rods and pistons and when we took the bearing cap bridge off we noticed that 2 of the bearings had different wear than the center one... is this wear normal? or should I be concerned about the integrity of the crank? Thanks... just wondering if I now have to get a crank too... 
Here is links to larger and cleaner pics... Hopefully this will Help with a diagnosis... I also included a pic of the crank. I have more pics if anyone thinks its needed... but these should do for a diagnosis of wether the crank is still good... I think it looks ok, but I dunno how its supposed to look...

It would be a real nice thing if you wer to clean off the oil and show us. Kinda hard to see what Im lookin at/for.
They do look a little scared though--from what I can makeout.

Looks like the bearings and crank are scored. My roomate just went through this on his GSR, and had to replace the crank.

Damn thats clean. Do you use synthetic? how often did you change your oil? Looks good to me. that looks barely even worn.

I think the crank is ok, I will have Vap0rtrail look at it when he comes back from Gainsville... Then if it's ok, I'll be shipping it to Endyn for some handywork...

Bearings look fine you will get this kind of wear one part of your bearing looks unused. They look really good how many miles do you have on these bearings. Also you can tell if you need to replace the crank or get if micropolished if you plastigage the crank, the plastigage will be big on one side and little on the other. This will tell you that your crank wear was uneven and that is when you ship it off. but those lines in your bearing look fine. If the bearings were shiny on the whole bearing then I would worry.

15K miles on those bearings with many WOT runs down I-4 (around 100miles)...
My girl lives a hundres miles away and at 2am, the quicker I got home the better...
Well, let's hope John thinks the same...
Hopefully Endyn's knife edge balancing and micropolishing will take care of everything for me...
