Default What bearings ?

My car recently burned a few rod bearing up resulting in low oil pressure damaging the crank. The crank has to have a grind now but ime not sure what bearings to use ? ? I really wanted to use oem but from what i gather they dont do a .25 over sized. So what do you guys think i should do ?

the popular choice seems to be acl, or even honda. king isn't too bad either from reading. i guess it comes down to personal preference.

I would get a new crank and then use regular sized OEM bearings of the proper color. I don't trust many shops to turn a honda crank properly.
