I suggest anyone removing bearing shells to carefully check the numbering on the back of the shell to determine what undersize it may be (or even STD).

When measuring crank journals always check for ovality too, when determining if they are worn.

Yes I should have written 'to the nearest 1/16" or similar' ! The big end journal on my Indian Lister is 3" diam. I think my series 1 Land Rover has 2" big end journals but that's a guess?
