CATERPILLAR-3044-3046-CONROD-BEARING-050

103-9685 is the 0.50mm undersize step for Caterpillar's 3044 and 3046 connecting rod bearing. After fitting any undersize bearing, checking actual running clearance with Plastigauge before final assembly is standard practice — it confirms the bearing and the machined journal are actually working together correctly rather than relying on the size markings alone.
