Bingo! Once the engine is apart they can see which bearings were fitted from the factory. They'll install bearings one size smaller to tighten things up a bit. My shop has done a few of them over the last few years, with good results.

FWIW, having your car make this DUNK-DUNK-DUNK.......noise on start-up can be a bit embarrassing. It'll definitely turn a few heads in the parking lot! Let us know how you make out.
