Hi gino64,
If you want to get the most accurate color codes, you need to use plastigage to measure the clearance to determine if it is correct.
Since it is after market conrods, ( what was wrong with the original rods), it most probably won't be as accurate. Marks are punched on the crankshaft and conrods their combination determines the color codes of the bearings.
