Greg, if you have the old bearings, look at the backside of them. If they are
undersized, it should give the size, eg; -010, -020 etc. You can also mike the
crank journals to see if they are standard or undersized. If all is close, use
the plastigage to ensure that you have the proper clearances. Hope this
helps.

Subject: [Bricklin] AMC Rod Bearings
OK, have everything ready for my rebuild. Installed the mains, new
bearings
and new rear main seal. While reading the AMC Technical reference manual
it
indicates the size of the rod bearings are different. Mainly using
standard
and undersized depending on the color on the crank. I have not found the
color markings yet. Has anyone run into this before? If so, where do you
get
undersized bearings or how did you get it resolved.
Picked up my heads from the machine shop today and I am kind of stuck on
the
rod bearing issue. I bought some plastigage today to see if the standards
will work.
