So I picked up a couple boxes worth of parts from Bugformance when they closed down out here in San Jose and now I'm trying to identify what I have.

First, I have a set of connecting rods that I was told had been re-sized, but I do not know what size engine they are for. The only marking they have on them is an Orange Dot.

Second, I have two sets of connecting rod bearings that I cannot identify. I have pictures posted below of each. The set in the red box has "0.75 U. St. and 71 2793" stamped on them.

And I also have two sets of main bearings that I have included pictures of.

How can I identify which engine size these will work on as well as if they are standard size or if they are for crank that has been ground to accept thicker bearings, etc.?

Any help would be great! Thanks!
