The first set of 5 bearings all had the same numbers on them. Maybe due to the same sizing? The first three new bearings installed had a clearance if .002. Right on target. I'll comment more tomorrow, and attach photos. All in all I am glad I did this.

Fantastic, Ozzie! Please post up pics when you get a chance. Also, what color rod bearing combos did your crank call for (ex. rrrrrr, rbrbrb)? .002 is slightly larger than factory so I assume you are putting in an aftermarket bearing, King perhaps? Looking forward to your results.
