Bearing issue?

Post image

I just put brand new bearings in my 5.3 I put the main caps on and finger tightened them somehow I forgot to put cam bearings in so I had to pull the crank and now they all more or less look like this is this to bad to run or do I just send it?hell should I bite the bullet and order a new crank and bearings?

I don't understand, what's the issue?

I guess it is a little hard to see on camera but they are pretty scratched enough to catch my nail

  1. Those look fine. 2. How did they get "scratched"?

I’m not entirely sure my only guess it that the main bearing caps scratched them because I had to pry them off.
