Mains measure 49.80
And bigs are 43.56

Would that be +40 mains and +30 bigs

Cheers, eden

Like Rob says, they should be marked on the back.

But from your figures -40 for the mains seems right, but you need to re-measure the big ends (especially for ovality) because if your figure is correct, they are a VERY worn -30

EDIT, even with the imperial figures, my last comment applies, big ends are 1.75" standard so you are 36thou under whether you do the maths in metric or imperial
