I'm assuming he isn't having any machine work done, so i'd think standard sized bearing swould be the right ones.Also wants to know if he should change both timing chain gears since he is changing the chain. i would think its just a safe bet to do so.Lastly, the part i'm really here to ask: what is the plastigage measurement or torgue specs for the rod and main bearings?He's just doing a standard rebuild to get a few more miles out of it till he can get his new motor.</blockquote>
