I would re-use those as long as they did not lose their "Spring" when being inserted into the rod.

Otherwise it would be a waste of money.

I won't reuse a bearing once it has been removed from it's seat in the cap. No matter how good it looks. It has already had its crush set once. They aren't that spendy.

Had my machinest talk me in to reusing my main bearings. They looked like new, but when I put them in, they just fell in to the saddles - not loose, but no spring. They mic'ed ok, so I assume there was still some crush. I went ahead and reused them. Been worrying about it ever since.
