rod bearing clearance and size?

Number 6 piston has rod bearing spun. After polishing the spun rod journal, it's measured 0.635mm (.025") less in diameter comparing to one of the good rod journals. I may need over-sized rod bearings for this piston, but not sure which size to get. I will use plastigage to check the clearance, but don't have the clearance tolerance specs for this engine. Any advice on the rod bearing size and tolerance specs? Thanks,

They're Plastigage values.
