You see i bought a stroker kit from TODA and they do not supply the Connecting rod bearings. and after months of measurements and countless emails, they finally came up with something. Please see related email from TODA below. Can anybody help me get the "RED" connecting rod bearings? Or what are your inputs on this? Thanks

Joaquin,
Here is what we suggest for the connecting rod bearings based on the
information you provided to us.
According to JDM NSX service manual,
Connecting rod bearing (thickness: 1.5mm)
Color tolerance:
Red -0.012~-0.015mm
Pink -0.009~-0.012mm
Yellow -0.006~-0.009mm
Green -0.003~-0.006mm
Brown 0~-0.003mm
Black +0.003~0mm
Blue +0.006~+0.003mm
Regarding your measurements,
(55.0164 - 52.000 - 0.050 - (1.5 * 2)) / 2 = -0.0168mm
0.050mm is recommended clearance for NSX rod bearings.
See attached instruction manual which I send you before.
The tolerance is out of range a little.
Though nearest tolerance is Red. (-0.012~-0.015mm)
Please measure inner diameter of large end with installing Red
bearings.
Of course, please tighten connecting rod bolt at 7kgf.m.
Then he must know the clearance precisely.
The customer says about only 1 journal.
Needless to say, he must measure and adjust clearances in each journal.
