i cant see ****.

but you did just blind the **** outta me

 

Yeah, you can see copper... that is worn weird.

 

thats what i was thinking...

 

I need to know if this is gonna be a problem later... and what to do to fix it if it is.

 

just replace you bearings now, dont wait for a problem down the road

 

i am... i'm rebuilding the engine... i'm trying to figure out if the abnormal wear will result in another rebuild in 50k miles

 

looks a little thin. you shouldnt really see bronze but i can barley tell from the picture. you wore it to thin anymore driving and it will spin or ruin your crank

 

just replace it whiles the motors apart dude

Looks to me like it was either run low on oil or it was put together tight some time in the past.

 

cool... as long as it doesnt indicate an issue with hard parts.

agree.

 

just a guess, the worn marks on the bearings are at the end of the bearing, could be something

 

Yeah, if you're really worried you ought to let a machine shop measure the rods and make sure the block alignment's correct.
