I was going to install my oil pan when I noticed a thin, half inch long scar on the front inside of the pan. It lines up with the number 1 rod cap. I have found that all my connecting rod bearings are worn out. This explains the knocking sounds I was hearing and the low oil pressure.

What I have is 010 bearings. Do I need to get some Plastigage and measure each rod bearing ? Or just replace them with the 010 bearings ? I have never used a Plastigage.
