Glad to hear you got it straightened out. A friend of mine went with an Eagle crank for his B18C1 and had to use all OEM blue color bearings.

That's funny, all the eagle rods we've used called for green bearings.

it all depends on ur helms manual and what letter u have stamped on ur crank. me for instance have all C's across the crank which in the manual states that a C matched with a #3 rod os BROWN. any1 else

Why spend the money on the Honda bearings? Get yourself a setof ACL standards, stick in em and plastiguage em. If they call for Honda bearings, THEN spend the money to get the one specific for your crank. If the tollerances are within spec with the standards then I would rather use the ACL's. Honda bearings run about $200 to do the crank and rods and this doesn't include the thrust washers. I got my ACL's for $100 and this included the thrust washers as well. I plastigauged them all and they were all well within spec.

I used to think the same way until I checked into ACL beargins. Very nice pieces which in my opinion will far outlast the OEM pieces. Anyways, good luck with your project.
