I thought I remembered seeing .001 or .003 undersize bearings before. But all I can find are standard and .010''. Anybody know of any slight undersize bearings for when a worn crank just gets polished and needs a .001?

Hmm may have found it in a search on turbo dodge. Old thread, dodge part number 4397725 it suppose to be .001 undersize bearing. $10 for each pair though, sheesh!
Clevite numbers:
MS-1533P-.026mm for main bearings.
CB-1269P-.026mm for the rod bearings.
That doesn't really help me...I need .001 undersize from the standard size. Looks like mopar is the only one that had them, if they are still available.
How doesn't that help? That's exactly what those part numbers are.
Sounds like you are looking for "selective fit" bearings, what you would use to make the clearance on each journal "just right". Common on Hondas, didn't even know they where available for our engines!

Haha OMG I'm really sorry man. You were giving the numbers in MM. I'm so retarded. Thank you very much.Originally Posted by lametec
Yeah when I install them I will use plastigage to make sure it's OK to use the .001'' (.026mm) bearing.
That's how Clevite numbers them.. which makes sense, since our engines use metric sized journals.
My book says 1.968 to 1.969, INCHES! LOL. I guess thats 50mm though. I grew up building american V8's, so I never ever used mm. Plus I'm american all the way baby LOL. I even hate using the term BTU's when referring to an air conditioner or some kind of heater.
I bet you're one of those people that say fractions are much easier than decimals?
Exactly, hence his sig pic as 5/4 instead of 1.25 or 125%
Decimals aren't the problem at all, it's metric versus standard.
and metric wins
Metric FTW!
The one thing I find funny is that the american system if referred to as standard... I don't see anything standard about it!!
Take drill bits for example.. You have both fractional sizes and # sizes.. How's that standard? Same thing goes for thread sizes. Sheesh!
Umm it's standard because you are in america LOL. The english language makes the least sense of any and is the hardest to learn, but it's ''standard'' in america.
Honestly, the only thing that bothers me is when cars (like ours) are a mix of metric and standard. Personally I like metric more, but I was a physics major so it is what I used the most.
No fun cars any more :(
Blame the darn machinists!Metric FTW!

Hah! Thats true. The other day I put a new horn on my dad's 95 chevy van. Well I went to go unbolt it, looked at the bolt, ehh 1/2''. Go get a 1/2'' socket and ratchet, come back, too small. OK, must be 9/16''.....DAMN IT! What the hell is a 13mm bolt doing on a 95 chevy van?
