I'm rebuilding an S50B30US and have some confusion on rod bearing colors. Reading some conflicting information on forums and I don't have access to TIS.
No where on my connecting rods or caps do I see color dots. The only dots I have are on the crankshaft and engine block which are yellow.
Realoem implies the blues are for the rod side and reds are for the cap side, but I'm also reading instances where people are using all red or using aftermarket that are all the same. Is blue for rod-side and red for cap-side the correct rule to follow?
The PNs are on my rod bearings are all 1 284 843/844 (both numbers on the same bearing) superseded by 1 284 849/850.
The only other difference between the uppers and the lowers are stamps on the opposite end reading 56 47 (cap side) and 56 33 (rod side), but I've been unable to find any references to their meanings.
