Yep. The first and second journals had light scratches from debris ran through it. The bearings looked fine but I know this engine had mains rolled in it when the PO switched this engine to their dump truck. I'm guessing those bearings didn't look so good. I used emery cloth and cleaned up the journals until they were nice and smooth. The journals are still within minimum specs as well.
