Re: Bearing shell selection question

I found it on the old forum. It was a post from Mike Norman( G performance, USA).
However I have been thinking about it, and what if the misprint is the thikness(numbers) of the bearings, and not the color selection? The bearing selection chart in the nc30 microfiche is the same as workshop manual...three wrongs seems too much to me.The only way to find out is to use plastigauge to verify the oil gap, I guess. I can try to find out which shells got in my engine some months ago... They were selected with original(uncorrected) H manual, and checked with plastigauge(or so I was told). I only read the post on corrected bearing selecton after. So you might be safe, I guess.
