A new set of rod bearings won't break the bank. Check the prices from the advertisers on this board.

You will need a micrometer or a veneer caliper to measure each journal. You must mike each journal in several places, I usully go for 4 places, left and right side then again at 180 degrees.

Try the plastigage bit first. All you need is a torque wrench. You put a line of plastigage on the journal along the length of the journal, install the cap, torque. Remove the cap. The paper containing the plastigage has indicators along the side. You compare the indicators with the crushed plastigage to determine the fit/clearence.

Check the back side of the inserts for parts numbers.
