On that year it should only be one size, I can't remember which though!!
You have to take it apart to put the cam in so why not wait until you have it apart and then measure journal size.
I have a 2.8i flywheel FREE if you want it, other wise binning it.(pm if interested)

think early ones are small bearing, but not 100%

I thought sierra blocks had larger bearing and all capris had smaller?

Defo two sizes on cologne.

The large cam bearings are fitted to post 1982 engines.

Dug out some info from when I fitted a piper cam to my capri
Bearing sizes Pre 1982 =1.652"/41.90mm. Post 1982 =1.730"/43.90mm.
