rod bearings
i ordered an eagle crank now because i took my crank to a machine shop and there was all kinds of stuff wrong and i would have to pay alot to get fixed with a different crank im goin to have to order different bearings right
I think you are missing something...
First you said that all the rods said 3.
Then you said the crank said B3 all the way where the cylinder no.1
Also you said that rods 2,3,4 all say C
And finally you said the block said DDDDD
Well for starts, you mentioned the number code for the #1 main which you said was a 3, but never mentioned 2 thur 5. So the #1 bearing will be a D3 which = Black. You need to find the rest of these number codes to figure out the correct main bearing for 2 thur 5. On the crank you need to find the 5 numbers that may or may not be next to a letter. The letters are for figuring rod bearings and numbers are for figuring main bearings.
As far as the rod bearing with what you have mentioned...
#1 rod will need a Green
#2 rod will need a Brown
#3 rod will need a Brown
#4 rod will need a Brown
Be careful if this is a B motor, because there are three different rod bearings with two different sizes.

Either way, in the end I always use a micrometer to be safe.

Ya, all you need is a micrometer and a bore gauge.

The micrometer is for measuring the bearing area of the crank and the bore gauge is for measuring the inside of the main caps torqued down with bearings installed.
Subtract the main bearing caps from the bearing area of the crank and you have your bearing clearance.
