Alright,I found the charts. Doing the math and I think I have it sorted out.

With case being all B's and the main journals being all A's that points me to all GREEN on the mains.

Rod #1-   pin 4/rod 1   bearing- yellow
Rod #2-   pin 4/rod 3   bearing- brown
Rod #3-   pin 4/rod 3   bearing- brown
Rod #4-   pin 4/rod 2   bearing- green

I'm pretty confident this is correct. I am 100% sure of my markings and the chart is easy to decipher once you find it  ;D

If anyone else is looking for the charts here they are:
The darn fool didn't know it couldn't be done...so he went ahead and did it anyway.

Table is in the parts book i have but it shows the crank mains(5) as numbers not letters and big ends (4) as letters not numbers also biggest number is 3 so i am confused

I'm confused,too. On the chart for the con rod bearings the pins are numbered 1,2 &3 . But the reference numbers in the chart are 3,4,&5. Which don't exist???? :o I was confident,now I'm confused with you  :'(


The best I could tell on letters and numbers:

Case is marked with letters
Main journals are marked with letters.

Rod big end is marked with numbers
Rod journal is marked with numbers

So the main bearings sizes are deciphered from letters
 and the con rod bearings are deciphered from numbers.


Honda's way of keeping them separated???Who knows...
