according to my GM service manual,,,
crankshaft connecting rod journal diameter 2.0987 in. (production)
crankshaft main journal diameter 2.558-2.559 in. (production)

manual calls for
.0006-.00248 connecting rod bearing clearance (production)
.0007-.00212 crankshaft bearing clearance (production)

Hope this helps

Bruh...did you forget to take your meds or something? Yell at Google? I didn't say anything about using Google. Just below the button you press to start a new thread is a sticky titled:

LS1/LS6 Engine Dimensions & Clearances

You don't even need to use Google, or start and even bump a thread like this, when the answer is permanently posted on the first page...but obviously some people are not that attentive...

I was looking for journal size in google and this thread came up first in the search. Apparently you dont know how google works, you should check it out sometime because you dont "know it all".

And, still again, this thread helped me out, thanks raron.

Are you really this dumb? Or are you just bumping this thread to troll?

When I search LS main journal size, the sticky I reference is THE NEXT thread to come up. So my point still stands, this was a dumb thread to start since the answer is stickied to the first page of this section.

I did the exact same thing, google stock lm7 5.3 connecting rod bores and widths and this was one of the suggested links. Thanks to the original poster 🤙🏽
