J body, not a good analysis if you ask me. Not one metion of the word "timing" or "detonation" in all that, which looks like to OP's main trouble IMO. Also looks like the rod is "rocking".

Not that they look super but was not going to lose a bearing. Spend $400. And get some better rods recheck bearing clearance. Clean clean clean that is your best friend in engine building . Good luck with you project

The top one is marginal but the next two pics show where the top coating is trying to smear and guall along with way to much detonation. I bet if you mic the top bearing its crushed from it. So no it would not be a good idea to reuse those in a hi performance motor. The other set that Ted posted would be fine to put back in. I have scotchbrited and reused them when they come out looking like his. But the OP's are too far gone. So I still say he needs a set of new bearings and I would check the flatness of the crank and roundness of the rod before reassembly. Then check your timing mark to make sure it's correct so you can keep the timing correct.
