Big end bearing sizes for a Type one
What is the largest "under sized" big end bearing for a type one crank ?
I've heard they go up to 2mm under sized, but that sounds extreme !!

the 2mm is only for the thrust bearing. Journals I though only go to 1mm as beyond that there is no casehardening left on the crank.
Yea, just checked and 1mm crank, 2mm crankcase and 2mm thrust.

I think you'll find 1.5 BE bearings. Mains come in up to 2.0mm on the back (case) and .75mm on the crank. Re-nitriding is possible to re-harden the
crank. This is done to all modified and some reground cranks if done right as the nitriding is only around .005" deep (iirc).
