Ok, so my case is stamped .020. Measured the O.D of the old bearing as 51.00mm. So i ordered a set of stock crank / .020 over mains. I got my bearings today and the new #4 main is 50.50mm.

What is the OD of a stock #4 main bearing?

TIA!

Stock #4 bearing bore is 50.00 mm. Numbers you may find stamped on the
case don't necessarily mean what you think, or even anything at all. You need
to actually measure stuff. A .020 inch oversize bearing would be 50.50 mm.
