Just phoned toyota there saying there are 3 different types mk1 mk2 mk3 and i need the numbers stamped on block and con rod how come they say that but acl and all aftermarket companys just do one size . Very confusing lol

I agree that its weird acl only do one size but toyota do 3! I emailed idrees a while back to see if he could tell me the sizes for standard acl but didnt hear anything.

Heres the limits from toyota for each size of bearing

Big-end inner diameter:

STD mark 1 = 43.000-43.007mm

STD mark 2 = 43.007-43.014mm

STD mark 3 = 43.014-43.021mm

Main journal diameter:

STD mark 0 = 46.995-47.000mm

STD mark 1 = 46.990-46.995mm

STD mark 2 = 46.985-46.990mm

U will either need a decent micrometer or get a machine shop to measure them

thats simple because they use the mid size bearings ( thats what al non toyota bearings are sized on ) so some will be a tat tight and a tat loose but still in tolerance

you use plasti gauge when fitting these and check tollerances that way :)
