Default NEED HELP WITH BEARINGS

Ok, i checked the codes to get the colors for my main bearings and it says i need 2 green and here is where I get confused, 2 yellow/green and 1 green/brown. Honda doesnt sell a color like that does it??? I thought it was always a solid color! So I looked up on Majestic and it doesnt list a yellow/green or a green/brown, just like i thought. Any help on what that means? Does it mean i need a yellow top and green bottom???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Fadi



Ended up being main bearing!
My mods are in my signature. I launched my car today and when i launched and took off i noticed a noise. My oil light came on and stays on at idle. If i rev over 2000 rpms it goes away. The car is making a wierd noise as well. Its like a metal knocking or clanking noise. It goes from loud to barely noticeable. The noise is not always there. There is a vibration as well. The car drives fine other than the symptoms. I only drove it back home though. Any ideas???I have included a video. I appreciate any help very much.
Thanks
Fadi

Here is the noise:

If your oil light came on then check your oil.....? If the light came on then you most likely starved for oil and since its making a weird noise its likely that you spun a rod bearing. Very expensive repair at that point. Dont drive the car until you figure this out or your situation will be 10x worse.

Yeh my first guess would be a spun bearing. I work on my cousins car and almost the same symptoms. His car would have a noticeable noise but when rev up it would go away. I thought it was the valves needed adjustment..after I tighten her up it still made it. So I lower the oil pan and notice a rod bearing sticking out of the rod. But definitely dont drive it anymore till you get it check out.

Oh my god that sounds awful. It's definitely not the TCT or valve train...Sorry man, I think you're going to be needing a new bottom end.

sounds like a spun rod bearing. You sure it had enough oil? did you do a two-step when you launched it? was the motor cold when you did it? Don't drive or run the car at all and you might be able to save it!
