Re: picked up a gm 5.7 roller with weird bearing sizes

"Select-fit" accommodates wear of the crank grinding stone to get the desired final clearance for the oil film. Dates not matching means nothing, all the bearings were mass-produced well in advance of final engine assembly. Nothing weird here.
