Like the title says, Which color thickness do I need?
The motor is a B18C1, I had the crank micro polished when I rebuilt my motor do to the crank binding and not wanting to spin freely. Right now I'm using a STD size KING bearings (main & rod), and the clearances are:

Main bearings - (1) .0014 (2) .0014 (3) .0016 (4) .0015 (5) .0015

Rod bearings - (1) .0015 (2) .0015 (3) .0017 (4) .0014

My main concern is Rod bearing number 3, As mentioned before the bearings are STD King. Which color rod bearing should I get for the rod journal?

Bump, anyone?

For performance, you want 0.002 on the rods.

Plastigauge, I'm going to be taking off my oil pad today and try figure out which color I need. Will post update.

Pulled the oil pan, no trace of shavings . Took some pictures of the rod bearings, R= bearing came from rod end, C= cap end.
Mileage on motor is 341. What are your thoughts?

Update: Took some picture of the crank, Any help one which color bearings I need would be great.

Whats it say on the block..?

stock setup? bearings look good, doesn't seem like the crank is in bad condition neither.

Is this just a bearing replacement?

Unrelated to your question: why did you choose King Bearings which are bimetal aluminum backed.

That's funny, my machine guy told me the exact same thing only about ACL, which I used the first time I rebuilt the motor.

Update: Acura didn't have any bearings in stock, so I shimmed my oil pump and reinstalled the bearings. Still only doing 80 oil psi in vtec, should I be worried?
Also I uploaded some pictures of main caps 2-3-4, let me know how they look.
