clevite makes bearings. machine shop will grind and let you know what size is needed and you buy the right size bearing. I am sure clevite is bought by mahle now. so just get your thing to a machine shop first.

nissan has this bearing matching system on the crank. there are two types of cranks. I and II says the fsm. on type I, there will be a set of 5 numbers and represents the rod grade bearing number. And on Type II, the set of 5 is on the front and the set of 4 is on the rear of the crank. the fsm says the standard clearance is 0.020-0.045mm (0.0008-0.0018in) for the rod bearings. while your limit is 0.65mm (0.00256in).

your rod bearing grades should be either 0,1,2. And then nissan offers undersize bearings which you can grind down the crank to match. Ask Westco Justin. He's got all the shit you need for a rebuild.
