Toyota bearing "Mark" increments

I need to purchase a set of main & conrod bearings for a 20V 4AG from toyota, I have the part numbers, but what exactly do the "Mark 1, Mark 2, Mark 3" designations mean? I know that for pistons they are slight diameter increments to match each bore exactly, but how much difference is there between each 'mark' with bearings?
Thanks in advance
Phil

Phil - I am unsure of the answer to this, but give the clearance something to the order or .002" to .0025" I guess that there would only be 1/10ths of thous in it. Why not measure the crank pins and journals and see how much difference there is? This would go a ways to telling you how close they are to each other and how bearing numbers relate.

Thanks Jason. Found out today that the corresponding "Mark" numbers are stamped inside the block for both the main & conrod bearings from production. I was looking on the rods & crank themselves, the block has a lot of oil sludge baked onto everything, I guess the stamping will be easy to see once its had a bath
Cheers
Phil
