Main and rod bearings

Hey guys, I'm replacing the bearings in my 350. Stock range on the mains are 2.4484-2.4493. Mine came out to be 2.4475. Stock range on the rods are 2.099-2.100. Mine are 2.097. My question is what size bearings do i need? Are these numbers close enough to just order stock size replacements? Thanks in advance.

The last time I did one like that the machinist told me to use 2thousants over size bearings. You should go in and talk to your local machinist and see what he says.

I called up Fel-pro and they really went above and beyond to help me figure out what sizes i needed. Great people in their tech department. Thanks everyone.
