Need tech info M103 engine

I need to know if I need oversized main and rod bearings. I cannot find this information anywhere!!! I just spend $80 on an official mercedes benz service manual and it wasn't in there. Can anyone help me out? What is the standard journal diameter and when does it require oversizing? I have already measured my crank...i just need data to compair it too. Thankyou!

Standard size main crank journal is 57.950 to 57.965mm.
Std size rod journal is 47.935 to 47.955mm.

There are 4 repair sizes for either, mains or rods in .025mm increments.

.06mm clearance on the mains would be max.
.04mm clearance on the rods would be max.

I have figured out that I can stay standard on both my main and rod bearings...can I just assume that my thrust bearings are standard too? If not, can you give me those clearances too?

The standard size of the thrust bearings is 2.15mm & the clearance(endplay) is 0.10 to 0.20 mm.
