Bearing color code question
am rebuilding my Type R Engine to make it better Stronger and Faster.
anyway the only thing I need now are the Main bearings and Rod Bearings. I replaced the rods cause I got them with the Pistons and I need to replace the Main bearings cause I damaged one while removing the piston oops.
Anyway I found the block code on the bottom near the oil pan. (DDCDC)
and the corresponding numbers on the crank are (33343) For the Type R engine I got Black, Black, Brown, Blue, Brown Now as these colors are all dark and you can emaigine what the stock bearings looks like after all the heat and oil so it's hard to tell if these colors are right.
As for the Rod bearings I changed the rods so the colors for the Stock rods are not important here.
The Rods are stamped (22) and the letters on the crank are (wwwx)
this is the tricky part. Now the Main bearings are pretty cut and dry and I am sure thoses are the colors I need but the Rods are a different story.
for #1 -#3 I got Blue/green and for #4 I got Green???
Does this mean I have to put a blue on the top and Green on the Bottom??
Thanks for your Help
BTW I followed the directions of the Honda Service manual 4-12 in Japanese and English.

No one? Anyone know where I might be able to find the answer? I did a search in archived topics and I have not turned anything up about the double color codes. Any Suggestions about what should I do since I need the bearings before I can use the engine. This is the only thing holding me up. Here is the Diagram from the Manual
Sorry I was pointing to the wrong colors But if you look at the bottom Photo the circled number at the top is the line you want to look at. Does anyone have this page from the English Manual (4-12)

alright friend. here is the deal. i can read any of that so i'm just gonna tell you what to do, ijust did this like 3 weeks ago to my bottom end.
get a helms manual. then look at the crank journals, they should have #'s (the helms tells you which #'s to look at). so you match the #'s on the crank to the #'s on the piston rods (that is if they are stock, if aftermarket, contact the manu of rods). for example, i have 2 sets of yellow and 2 sets of green. there is no, top is green and bottom is yellow. its either yellow green brown and some other color. hope this helps. let me know if you want a copy of the helms page.

Funny thing I noticed about H-T when you post some crap about is the Type R better than other Integras then you end up with a 7 page thread but if you ask a legit ??? SOMETHING TECH related you get Nothing. LOL Just a funny Observation I just made. Still looking for this page and if anyone has a copy of the manual or is will ing to tell me what Color Bearing I need for the COMBO I have listed above I would really APPRECIATE IT.
Thanks

Your right EUCLID why is he in the ITR Forum. After all only 80% of the people that have ITRs don't know anything..

Idont have an english manual in front of me, but according to the scans you have
posted, W22 gets blue/green and X22 gets green. For the dual color ones it really
doesnt matter which goes where, but i like to keep things consistent, meaning
if you put green on top of one, put it on top for all.

So you're saying that Blue goes on top and Green on the bottom or Vise Versa? I am trying to order these to finish my rebuild. Thanks for the help
Just to add that I figured the Type R Forum would be a good place to get this question answered because
1) I am talking about a TYPE R Engine (Color Codes are diferent from other B-series engines)Never thought to have an ITR question answered in the CIVIC forum
2) Thought people in this forum would be able to respond in a MATURE manner
3) Post where you think your question has the best chance to be answered.

OMG, you posted that it is very hard to extract info from people in the typr-r forum when you have a technical based question/problem.... i was being sarcastic b/c the civic forum is 100x worse, i dont even bother posting there anymore b/c i know 10 ricers are going to respond with retarded suggestions.

Oh I thought I was the only one who noticed that the other forum is hard to get useful information from.
I guess I am so used to being told to do a search or 10 million Newbie put downs that I failed to notice the sarcasm.

Okay one more question, Hope I am not getting annoying. By Saying that it doesn't matter you are saying that Some combination of both colors should be used? Or are you saing that it doesn't matter as long as I get Blue or Green and that what ever I do I should do it across the board.
Example1: I buy 3 Blue and 3 green
Example2: I buy 6 blue OR 6 Green
Thanks again
