Default Rod Bearings....

what is the size for "stock" rod bearings. and are they all the same size across each cylinder or are all 4 different sizes?

Just a little insight of what's going on. Had a small knock between 2200-2500 rpm. pulled each plug wire one at a time. When I pulled the #2 plug, the knock went away. Dropped the oil pan and pickup. #2, 3 and 4 rods had very slight wiggle. #1 didn't have any wiggle. I removed all 4 rod caps and removed the bearings. #2 cap bearing didn't have the little tit on the side to keep in place. All caps, rods and crank looked good. no scratches or scaring. Would I be able to just throw some stock/standard bearings back in the block and call it good, or would I need to machine the crank? There was very VERY little metal in the oil, more like a metallic paint as compared to bits of metal.
Old bearings were all stamped with D8F 0.25...no colors. How can I tell what color I need? I've seen plastigaue, but that's just to check clearance on the right bearings, correct?

You MUST provide all pertinent information about your car and engine. Failure to do so may result in thread closure.

Oh yeah...duh
1999 Honda Civic Si. B16A motor. I'm guessing it's had motor work done before since ALL bearings are Over 0.25. The top bearing on the rod itself were worn down a good bit on #2 and #3 cylinder.

For clarity sake, B16A, or B16A2? If it's a B16A, first, or second gen?
