T-Series TD connecting rod big end diameter

[Sarastro]

Looks like I'll need to get the big ends of my rods redone, as they are significantly oval. The diameter, however, is not listed in the shop manual. Does anyone know where this is documented?

I found one on-line reference that gave 1.9157-1.9162 inches, but I'd like some confirmation that that's correct before trusting it.

Thanks--

According to the Blower's manual the big end bore is 48.658mm/48671mm

Thanks--that agrees with the numbers I had, once converted to inches.

What, exactly, is the Blower's manual? Sounds like something I should know about, but I've never heard of it.

It is a Bentley manual written by W.E.Blower and covers all models of MG from the M type through the TF. The copy I have is the eleventh printing dated 1970. It is a great reference book.
Cheers,

Thanks--obviously, I need to get a copy.
