What rod and main bearings do I need

Doing lsv, I got the b18a1 block. If I get my crank polished do I need to go ahead and buy the .25mm over bearings or will standard size be fine? Or if you can explain a better route to do this.

Measure the clearances. If you didn't know that I sure hope you're not putting this together yourself.

Give this thread a read before you TRY emphasis on try, to assemble the engine.

This isn't something that we can tell you. Every engine will be different.

Take it to a machine shop if you don't know how to do it. Better safe than sorry.

Re: What rod and main bearings do I need

So I can take the rods, pistons, crank, block and all bearings to a machine shop and they'll do the right clearances? Do I buy just the standard size, that way they can clear as much as they need?
