If your bearings are showing signs of wear then your oil pressure would have been down a bit and doing a bearing roll will bring it back up. That's the first sign your bearings are wearing, your pressure drops.

Oil pressure seems within normal spec, engine looks good inside other than the mains showing some scuffing and color, and one cam roller shows some heat. They're not toast by any means.l but thinking about changing them out just so that everything is tip top.

Sorry Hammerhead, not trying to derail your thread!
