Default Re: 8ba rod bearing problem

I'd have no problem running dissimilar sized bearings if their crank journals are round,smooth,and correctly sized to their respective undersizes. And yes...it's time to get a micrometer and check-OR-if not possible, careful use of plastigauge on every journal of this crank after determining undersizes with the caliper. The machine shop personnel really should have checked and noted every journal-shame on them.
