have you plastigauged them? They look pretty good through my computer but that doesn't mean much. If you think there is too much wear, replace them. They are the easiest to do. Just check your clearances with plastgauge, I had a turned crank with new summit bearings ( not a dodge motor) and there was way too much clearance. Went to a local store and bought another brand name bearing. That was all I needed to achieve proper clearance

+1. Looks good from here, but I would use plastigauge to be sure, or at least get an idea of oil clearance. It won't take that long to do:)

Plastigauge yes but do they fit tight in the rods/caps or just fall right out?

They fit tight in the rod and cap. I'll gauge em. Thanks.
