400 four main bearings - will need replacement STD bearings.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Looking at the DS site conrod bearings look more available than the mains that are shown as no longer available.
What do you do if they are not available surely someone must make them even if you have to have a crank grind in the process?
Nurse Julie:
Buy the shells from Yamiya Ted if you can't find them locally. You don't have cranks ground on these engines just to make shells fit. This isn't a Ford Anglia 😁😁😁

PS What's a Ford Anglia is it like Ford Prefect.

Okay that is good to hear at first glance I can't see any colour markings - I'm not sure if the colour is on the back or the edge of the shells. If I can't find any markings will my caliper tool be accurate enough or will I need to get them micrometer checked? I've printed of the parts page it only seems to give clearance sizes. There's me thinking STD on a shell meant standard size!
PS A Ford Anglia? Are they a later version of the Ford Prefect😁😁

You need to be able to measure accurately to at least 2 decimal places in metric(0.01mm=0.4thou) so not within verineer acuracy im afraid. May be cheaper to get in done by somebody used to micrometers as the acuracy "feel" is an aquired art

I agree back in the day depending how hard I tightened the screw changed any measurement.
