Hello fellow dodge lovers.i have a question for two of my dodges.first is on a 03 dakota.4.7. I am getting my block back from machine shop.getting deck bored out to. 30 or 35. With new piston an connecting rod.ok what size of bearings do I get an what brand.i am putting everything new.everything.if anyone knows whats the best part.bearings all the way to the lifters thank u.oooo I have a 06 ram 1500.same ****.4.7l an getting it rebuild.ty

 

-you could contact the rod supplier and ask if the rod is standard size
-you could measure the con rod bore
when you put it all together you should plasti-gauge to confirm proper oil clearances.

 

I would shoot for ~2-2.5 thou total clearance on rods and up to 3.5 on mains. Until you have the block, rods, and crank measured, you won't know what bearings to use. Stick to a mopar or clevite bearing. Can also look at King, know folks who used them but have not used them myself to know how they wear.
