need help wth main bearings pls
i just got my crank back from being polished after my cam wiped out and they told me i needed .001 mains so would that be a .001 under bearing or .001 over.
i would like to use these but im not sure if there correct, any help would be apriciated.

those look like the right bearings. just make sure you plastigage them anyway to be 100% sure. if you get .001-.0015 clearance then the stock bearings would have worked.

Bearing are referred to as "under" because the crank journals become smaller when they are ground/turned. Used to be pretty popular in rebuilds, isn't done so much anymore. If the crank is undersize from wear, the typical approach is to turn the journals to 0.010" under.
