Can somebody tell me if these main bearings are serviceable? the color is worring me. There are no marks or scratches and the engine was stopper for a long time.
Can they be re-installed?
Thanks

They show more signs of corrosion than hard wear. Apart from the one on the right that is.
For what it will cost to buy a new set I would fit new shells..

As Perry states, just fit some new ones as it is already in bits
They're not expensive and would be an opportunity missed, would do big ends too
will do as you advice

Do have the crank checked for wear, though - a shell which is showing that much copper is pretty worn.
