RE: bottom end bearings on 7mgte   2004-04-27 17:58:00 <Cully Paterson> Don't bother with getting the 'correct' size Toyota bearings - pull the crank and get it ground to match a new set. You'll end up with a better result all around.

Or alternately leave them existing bearings where they are if they inspect as good, you will have a lot of trouble getting close to the factory spec... If they engine has had a good life, they are probably hardly even worn. Regards, Stuart W.
