We're talking about crank and rod bearings which consist
of half-shell inserts. Bearing inserts are designed to deliver
a certain clearance at a certain torque on the bearing cap
bolts, in other words they "squeeze" down to the tolerance.
You order undersized inserts (which are thicker) and then
reduce their length so they don't crush as much when you
torque down the bearing cap. If you are having your crank
turned (I recommend this treatment every night), you can
have the shop turn an "over"-undersize to tighten things up
as well if the availability of custom bearing inserts is poor.

Or, you can pick what's behind Door#3 ...A New Car !!
