Default Determining rod and main bearing colors.

Ok guys I am having some trouble here. I have searched and looked in my helms but its a little confusing. Ok on the crank for the mains the numbers are as follows: 3 3 3 3 4, and for the rods its labeled 3 C C 4. Ok I dont know exactly how to correspond these to the helms chart they have. Can someone tell me what colors I need? Would it be best if I get the color code of the bearings itself. My main thing is how do I read the diagram in the helms.

Also the last number on both is 4. In the helms diagram on pages 7-9 and 7-11, they both point to the same bearing. One is for the main but the other is supposed to be for the rod. But on page 7-11 it points to the same thing as 7-9, can anyone explain that to me as well?

Thanks guys.

on the ones marked by two,there should be a number and a letter on the same area.look really carefully.i bet there are two more lettters you might have missed,the 3and 4 you have for the rod journals are the actually the ones for the mains.i bet all your rod journals are marked "c"

The crank should have 5 numbers and 4 letters.

For the Mains, the numbers read 33334, combine those with the letters that
are printed on the bottom of your block. For example. if you have ABABA,
then you would have A3,B3,A3,B3,A4 as a result

For rods, take the 4 letters on the crank, and combine that with the numbers
on the rods in the same fashion.
