Connecting Rod Bearing Selection: Notes

Each connecting rod falls into one of four tolerance ranges (from 0 to 0.024 mm (0.0009 in), in 0.006 mm (0.0002 in) increments) depending on the size of its big end bore.

It's then stamped with a number or bar (1, 2, 3, or 4) indicating the range. You may find any combination of 1, 2, 3, or 4 in any engine.

Big End Bore Size: 43.0 mm (1.693 in) 

Inspect each connecting rod for cracks and heat damage.
