Default can someone help me figure out which correct ACL race bearings to use?

Good evening NA gurus... im new to the motor building scene so thats why im asking for help.
now 1st off, lets start off with the block setup

2000 b16a2 block

Eagle "esp" stroker CRANK (strokes b16 to 1.8) micropolished each journal to a 3 or better R.A. A 0.125” radius.
[Stroke] [Journal Width] [Journal Diam.]
3.335 .945 1.771

Eagle "esp" H-beam connecting rods
[C-C Length] [Weight]
5.290 525

Toda Power b16 HI-comp pistons.

now my question is which correct ACL race bearings do i use for the crank and the rods? thrust washers?
and do i use standard size or ??? and parts numbers would be kool too.

thanks again guys for your help im just tryin to purchase everything before i take it to the machine shop..

Take it to the machine shop and have them measure the crank journals and the bearing race of the rods then decide what clearances you want.

this is where i'm getting stuck. I have all of my main bore, main journal, rod bore and rod journal measurements. I just don't know where I should be setting my clearances. If i'm correct, the "middle" clearance on my b18b would be .0013 on 1,2,4,and 5 and .0016 on #3. This sounds too tight compared to what others are doing on here though.

How about .0017 for 1,2,4,5 and 0.0018 for 3.

those are both on the big end of the clearances. What about rod clearance?

You need to measure your main bore, main journals, rod bore, and rod journals. Thats the first step.
