Hi all,

I pulled out the main bearings from my car. I am trying to identify what color they are. Car is a 1989 Prelude 2.0i-16. Engine code is B20A5.

Unfortunately the color stripe on the bearings cannot be seen, probably due to wear.

The bearings have the Taiho logo on them, and the following codes:
9G17E
9G18E (2 pieces)
9E30F
9J24F - this one is green, the stripe was not wiped away completely.

According to the markings on the engine block and crank, the car originally had Green - Yellow - Pink - Yellow - Yellow main bearings. (Markings are III-II-I-II-III on block, and 2-2-2-2-1 on crank). Unfortunately I don't know which bearing code was pulled from which journal, as I did not write it down.

I want to know if the bearings that I pulled out are still the factory ones. Is there a way to tell the bearing color from the Taiho code on them?

Thanks!
