Please excuse my grammar on the title

Is that typical or are they junk now ? The flash makes the honing marks look deeper than they are

It's perfectly normal to size your wrist pin bushings; it's a close fit. A picture really isn't going to tell the story on the roughness of the hone but your finger will. Does it feel too rough?

It is a normal thing to do. I would hope the wrist pins were numbered/matched to their individual rods though.

They are a hone to size thing. The new bushings get pressed in and then honed to fit. All the bushings and wrist pins should be the exact same size so I don’t think it matters which pin is in which bushing.

I’ll have to look through the paper work and see if they were replaced at all.
