    Be aware that grinding undersize/boring oversize is done on a case-by-case basis. It is quite possible to see some engines with a bunch of different bearing sizes in it.
     
    Diesel Dave and SmallPackage Thank this.

    Ok so your saying be diligent on documentation on each bearing and remove 1 at a time

    Yes. Just like @AModelCat reinforced. Check all bearings for size. That is what I meant. One rod journal can be standard and the one next to it could be .010 because it had a spun bearing or other damage on it previously and so on. Same with mains. Most Remans would not cut a crank journal unless it was absolutely necessary.
     
    Oxbow and Diesel Dave Thank this.

    OK so I’m under here looking at the crank and on the back of the engine it looks like there is a thrush washer on both sides, see images….and on the front it appears that there’s nothing there. The crank moves back-and-forth maybe a 16th of an inch. My questions are does both ends of the crank get a thrush washer or is it just the back of the motor on an MTC 350 small cam 1976?
    Also Does it matter which Rod and Main cap I pull to start As long as I document everything?

    If I’m looking at this correctly on the back of the motor, there are 2 thrush washers with little metal pins in the bottom of them to hold them in place on each side but I don’t see anything on top of those?
    is the tops what’s missing? Or should it only have bottoms
    Both bottoms are clearly on there and clearly intact
