whats left of number 3's bearing, the missing bit fell out after removing the con rod not before. also note the discolouration of the steel, thats been hot!

a comparison of the colour difference, number two also has play and is a little tight to turn. main bearings don't look great either.
on the plus side my 'new old stock' crank arrived today now i need to source bearings.
can anyone recommend a good place to buy bearing shells from?
