Main bearings still alright to use? I got a seat of OEM main bearings that came on a block and guy gave them to me in a bag. I'm not using them on my build but whanted to find out if there still dood. There's not much were on them but the bearings bein in a zip lock bag they rubbed together and now have surface scratches on them are thay good to use or should I chunk them? It's not deep or anything but you can se the scratches goin against the machinig??

Replace them. They are cheap.
The crankshaft will need machining if it's used, which will require oversized
bearings.
Be sure to check the clearance with a dial, or at least plastigage before
zipping up the engine.
