Default Re: 59 AB engine rebuild

I am just now going through the decision about replacing rod bearings. The 0.1085 is for bearings in an original engine. If the crank pins have been ground or the rods resized, a different number will apply for the oversized bearings. I have looked through many books, but have never seen a number for the thickness of original bearings with no wear. When original the rods were 2.360 and crank 2.139, which give 0.004 clearance with 0.1085 bearings. I would like to know the correct clearance for new bearings
