In this case, aftermarket bearing kit a micrometer is the only way to go!

Not hard at all. Just make sure to have the correct bearing clearances.

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.

B16A/B17A1 Rod Bearing
13211-P30-003 Blue
13212-P30-003 Black
13213-P30-003 Brown
13214-P30-003 Green
13215-P30-003 Yellow
13216-P30-003 Pink
13217-P30-003 Red

B18A/B18A/B20 Rod Bearing
13211-PR4-A02 Blue
13212-PR4-A02 Black
13213-PR4-A02 Brown
13214-PR4-A02 Green
13215-PR4-A02 Yellow
13216-PR4-A02 Pink
13217-PR4-A02 Red

B18C1/B18C5 Rod Bearings
13211-P72-003 Blue
13212-P72-003 Black
13213-P72-003 Brown
13214-P72-003 Green
13215-P72-003 Yellow
13216-P72-003 Pink
13217-P72-003 Red

Either way, in the end I always use a micrometer to be safe.
its always hard to tell someone how and where to lookwhen you are typing it online, but thanks for the clarification

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.
