Default Re: Bad rod bearing

Werner, your conversion from metric to imperial is correct and it tells me that your journals are 0.021"/0.022" under size. I don't know if the rods you are considering have shims in them but I'd say that a set of 0.020 undersize rods will do the job. Without adjusting them, you will have a clearance a little wide but by either removing 0.001 of shim or rubbing the cap on emery paper laying on a flat surface, you can easily take them down by the required 0.001 or 0.002" to be spot on. Just keep the caps square when you do this is my advice.
