Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to figure out what size main bearings are in my engine. The bearings are all original from a previously unopened '87 109 block. It's pretty clear that main 1 and 3 are .001 bearings (is that undersize or oversize?). As for the rest I'd just be guessing. I've heard that these engines can have different sized bearings in each main from the factory. This block will be going in for align honing/boring anyway but I'd still like to know for my own reference. Any help will be appreciated.
