Pretty bad bearings. How is the shaft? How are the other bearings?

have not had the crank checked yet mate but as you go down from 1 to 4 they seen to get worse

this is the 3rd set they were welded together on the shaft had to break them apart with a hammer and screwdriver the picture is not great but they are like paper thin and have a sort of lip all the way around each side and the oil holes are just not there any more
