Hi guys. Im in the middle of a top end rebuild, but seeing wear in the conrods small ends. Is this too much or can I save some money and go with them for another xxxxx miles?

What kind of axial play do the pins have? Are the pins blue or discolored ? One of my cranks Had a ton of axial play in the small end with discolored pins. Even new pins still had to much. That was new rods time. Personally a bit of wear on the coatings and if they show no excessive play on the wrist pins I'd run them.

They don't look too bad, I've seen a lot worse, the bottom isn't the only place it wears though, normally a lot worse on the front and back about where would be horizontal in an upright position.

Thanks for all the feedback! Thats alot of time and money saved if they can be reused!
