Default Main and rod bearing measurement marks

Does anyone know if this will effect the main and rod bearings. They all have marks like this now. At first I didn't think anything of it but now I am starting to think my measurement tools may have scratched the coating or something. Do I need to replace them? Maybe I am being overly obsessive about it but I don't really want to take it all apart again for several years.

The marks have no texture to them at all.

The bearings are Clevite part numbers ms-2199p and cb-663p


Bearing marks from the tool


Tool I used all end etc. are smooth.

That's normal. Don't even give it a second thought.

Glad to hear that is normal. I was started to worry about it.
