At the back of your old bearings should be a number like 1,2,3
Also the numbers are stamped at the edge of the engine where the sump seal near where the gearbox meet the engine. From one side it is 5 numbers indicating main bearings and at the opposite side 4 numbers indicating the big end bearings. The other way is to mesure the crank journals by a micrometer and mesure the main caps with the bearing inside torqued to specs (58 lb/ft if iam not mistaken) and substract those two numbers to find the clearence wich you have to compare with the specs on the manual.
