Might've rolled out of the factory that way.
Look at the stamping on the machined tab on the block near the coil, between and underneath cylinders 2 and 3.
The first digit is the year code.
Digits 2 and 3 are the month code.
After that you'll see some letters like P, M, PM.
Those are the OEM bearing sizes.
P = One or more rod bearings is 0.01 undersize
M = all crank bearings are 0.01 undersize
PM = all crank bearings AND one or more rod bearings are 0.01 undersize.
B means the cylinder bores are 0.01 oversize
C means all camshaft bearing bores are 0.01 oversize
No letters means all sizes are nominal.
