I just received my factory service manual for the I-6 in my 88XJ. The manual indicates that the rod and main bearings were color coded as to what size bearings were used during assembly (std or undersized). For those of you who have replaced these bearings, did you see any color coding on the old bearings when you opened up the engine? I was about to order a set of std sized bearings, but after reading the manual, I'm thinking I better wait and see if I may need a variety of sizes. I just didn't want to have the Jeep up on blocks so long.
Has any one run across color coding during bearing replacement, or have undersized bearing halves on an original engine?
