On cylinder 8 one bearing was spun to nothing the other half was spun down so thin it was almost gone I threw it out already.
On cylinder 7 bearing just had metal fragments get caught in its journal here's a couple pics of those

Crank needs to go to a machine shop to see that it can be ground down, then you use undersized bearings. Rods need to be reconditioned as well. If too far gone, the crank needs to be replaced.
If you're asking "can I simply put new bearings in and go", the answer is no. You're looking at doing a rebuild, or crate engine.
