Connecting rod bearing question

[Sangerboy]

I am rebuilding a '93 IDI for my daughter, my connecting rod bearing clearances are all just a little loose, all are .0045". I've looked but cannot find any .001" oversize bearings, just the typical .010, .020, and .030 over. Does a .001" even exist? Any leads would be greatly appreciated, if not I'll just run em a little loose and live with it.

As far as I know, there's no .001" over bearings for our engines. I might be wrong, but I've never heard of any.

Federal Mogul 3810cp1 = .001, 3810cp10 = .010, etc.

Thank you so much! I've been able to find a set of new (unused) 3810cp1 bearings on eBay. The seller says that they are "undersized" bearings but I think he meant they are for a slightly undersized journal. I've sent him a message for clarification. I also saw that in the catalog of long ago they also listed a 3810cp2 but I haven't run across any of those yet.

I'm glad to see that I was wrong. Ok maybe not wrong, just underinformed.
