  2. Inspect bearing shells for signs of fusion, pitting, burning or flaking. Observe contact pattern. Two kinds of rod bearings are available. Standard size and .0098" (.25 mm) undersize. Undersize bearing has Red paint marks on front of shell.
  3. Check bearing clearance using Plastigage. See CRANKSHAFT, MAIN & CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
