Note
It is normal for the bearings selected to differ from one journal to another.
It is also normal for there to be two options of bearing shell colour. In such cases, pick the shell size
which gives the greater running clearance.

Always confirm, using the Plastigauge method, that the running clearance is correct before final assembly.
Severe engine damage could result from incorrect clearance.
