right, when i whipped out my pistons i failed to note which rod and bearing assembly came of which crank journal and have since undoubtably mixed them up

my question is can i reuse the bearings and risk sticking them on the wrong journals or will it not matter?

cheers

for cost of normal bearings, I would just repolace them mate.

What pistons have you gone for in the end, Wossner?

Sizing is usually stamped on the big end bearings, i know this as i made that mistake of not looking and replacing with standard and later finding it had had a .25mm regrind!
