now when you say standard.its just regular bearing it doesnt matter what color on the bearing cause. i order a green color and i know you have to measure it makes sure even and it should be the same as b16 right cause i never work on gsr only b16.

all B-series motors are the same , if your bearing were all greean before they are standord bearings , you could go with ACL's or OEM or anyother brand name i like ACLS
just plastigauge them and make sure there in spec

You need to check the codes on your crank at the rod journals to determine color. If the crank code = green, then standard King bearings = green and should be fine. If you have blue, black, red or pink bearings, you are too out of range to use stadard aftermarket bearings, in my opinion.
Some people wont use aftermarket bearings if they have yellows of browns, but as this is only 10 to 20 thousandths either way, it usually is not a problem on a street build.

But it always is best to measure or plastigage with aftermarket rods. I have found that some sets of Eagle rods require a smaller bearing than their 1.89 big end bores would seem to require.

b series rod bearings are not the same. B16 and b18b rod bearings are different from gsr rod bearings.
