[Roadsters] engine bearings (another dumb one from WI)

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Tim,

"Standard" is standard.   There is no metric or SAE.  0.010 inches is 
approximately 0.025 mm.  Order standard bearings from a reputable supplier 
and you'll be fine.

When I had the '69 (metric) U20 in my '66 rebuilt, we ground the crank 
0.010" and bored the cylinders 0.020".  Bought appropriate bearings and 
pistons w/rings from one of our suppliers.

Gary
