Thanks for all the advice guys. So i'll replace the bearings with new ones.
I'm a bit out my depth from here......haven't done these before
i don't know what size the crank journals are Barry, i guess you need to know this when getting new bearings or can the old ones be used to get the right size? The reason i ask is (and i cringe when i say this) is i'm doing all this with the block still in the car
![Surprised :o](./images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif)
The crank journals are unmarked but to do this properly i should have them measured/checked at a alfa machine shop right
the motor is a 2.0 completely stock, i've only had it for 18 months so i don't really know how many klms its actually done and if its been reconditioned at some stage but it ran very smooth and i got 160psi on all cylinders +-2psi (if that means anything).
Thanks again and i'll update with the progress
Matt
