There are grade #s stamped in the crank for rod bearings, I would go by
those and check it out to see if the crank is still within specs, if not go
oversize some. FMS specifies this info in the engine buildup page. U can use
plasitgauge but its not accurate enough for out engines. Since the crank is
forged steel with mircopolished journals I don't think U will see any wear
on it unless the engine spun a bearing pretty severely.
