Shims Under Main and Rod bearings
I also think that having the correct bearings would be the best RAMM, but since I live in Sweden and parts are non existent and I have to order them overseas and that cost a lot. I now already have STD size bearings that fit like they should against the journals. But I have a small gap between the bearing and the rod which would require oversize bearings. Which I cant find on the internet, only undersize bearings which would not help my case at all since my rod journal measured 2.124" which is STD sized rod journal. I understand that shims is not best case senario.
Toolmanmike my crank isn't tourned or polished and the rod and crank journals all measures STD 2.124" and 2.5005" so undersize bearings wont help me unfortunately.
nm9stheham I did measured the big end after they where tourqued down properly. Measured at many places but not at the across the break.
Since this engine have never been apart before I am pretty sure MOPAR did remove the material on the big end side of the rod upon assembly at the factory.
Did draw a picture better showing what I'm talking about since this stuff easy gets confused.
