Can I use used Rotary bearing and resurface them

Hi, Iam new to this so I hope to get a little help from you.

So I’am rebuilding my rx8 13b 2004 engine and came to those bearings which was not huge damaged, so I decided to resurface them, I don’t know if it’s bad so tell me what do you think. Worst case I change them.

but can I use those in the picture as they are or should I replace them?


First time rebuilding 😂

Is it just the light or are they worn down to the copper? I wouldn't reuse or resurface bearings, you might save $100 but you risk wrecking $4000 of engine parts.
