It must be nomenclature, but why would you need bigger bearings than stock? It would be impossible for the journals to increase in size from their original size, and require a larger I.D. bearing than OEM size. THICKER bearings would equal an undersize diameter, and would fit a -.001" diameter journal..

the nomenclature is for sure confusing. The undersized bearings actually decrease oil clearance by .001 bringing my .0035 to .0025 and the +.001 mains increased my clearance from .0015 to .0025.
