We took apart everything and found that my ITR crank does not come with markings on it to tell what rod bearings to use. I have eagle rods and I am not exactly sure how to find out what OEM rod bearings I need. How can I find this out? I know plastigauge is one way, but are there any markings that can help me out? Thanks.

get the numbers from each ITR rod, i.e. 21, 22, 23, etc. and look at the bearings that were in each journal, so if gree/red in #1 with 23 then go to the book and look at what colors made up 23/green = XX etc. ... match that to a #3 on a gsr for the eagle rod and plastigage from there to see how much clearance you have ... take it to someone who rebuild bottom ends frequently (such as myself) so they would have various color bearings to test with plastigage to get the right clearance, etc. if you were on the east coast near NJ I'd tell you drop it off to me, etc.
