Just for your info, I have soaked all three bearings in paraffin and cleaned them, not thoroughly as yet, but clean enough to note there is no corrosion on any of the races or rollers, they are all clean bright metal.
The inner and outer mating surfaces of each bearing are clean polished surfaces and have no marks to indicate they have ever been installed. I cannot detect any play in any of the bearings.
However having never held a clean dry bearing in my hand other than hub bearings etc, I am surprised how much noise they make when spun, is this normal for new bearings??
I have not oiled the bearings as yet as I will leave them overnight in the paraffin and will thoroughly wash them out tomorrow.
