Well, rotating a bearing out is easy! No pin, so I'll need a 960M bearing. This can be put to bed, except for having a set show up at my house.

Looking closely at the stamp on the bearing in the picture, it looks like the original bearings were .01 undersized. I had assumed they were not undersized at all. Solves the mystery of why my machinist told me I could use them if I needed to. He must have just polished the crank, which I find surprising. That engine did some hard work in a 1 1/2 ton grain truck, however, it was only for a month out of the year.

I had measured the journals previously and all were .01 under original spec.

Thanks,

Mark
