Not Ranked
Nah, theres lot's of different thickness bearings available, not colored coded though (that sounds weird, must be a Honda thing). The bearing package will come with the "undersize" marked on it, typically in .010 increments. .010, .020, .030, like that.
Myself I like to use TWO methods to verify the rod and main bearing clearance. First, measure the crankshaft rod journal, then the rod or main bearing itself, do the math. Second, I like to double check that with Plastigauge. If your math is right, the Plasitgauge should confirm it.
Don't be intimidated by those who insist Plastigauge is for sissys or not manly enough. It's manly enough for many of the professional league race teams, Ferrari for instance. It's just another confirmation step in the building process, you'd be a fool NOT to use it!
