1998 Superhawk engine rebuild help.

Is it strange that I have two different sizes of crankpin/connecting rod bearing? In other words I'm following the service manual and determining I need two different con rod bearings. Green for one and Brown for another.

Case is stamped with two C's. Both connecting rods have a 2 on them. Crankshaft counter weights have an A and a B for the connecting rods. And 2's for the main bearings. I figure by using the chart I need Black for the main bearing and one green and one brown for the connecting rods.

No, not strange at all.

I know I'm chiming in a bit late here, but I would definitely measure the bearing clearances when you get the new bearings. I had to go through several different sizes to get the clearance I wanted (can't find my notes right now or I'd give you the details). The clearances I got with the recommended bearings were on the large size IMO.
