First off, Thanks all that replied, you just clearified my assumption.

As Jay and Geo stated, there are grades, Not all are alike.

See FSM page: EM-120

Standard: (Grade Number/Thickness/ID Color or Number)

0 = 1.505 - 1.508 (0.0593 - 0.0594); No ID Color or Number
1 = 1.508 - 1.511 (0.0594 - 0.0595); Brown
2 = 1.511 - 1.514 (0.0595 - 0.0596); Green

Undersized:  (Grade Number/Thickness/ID Color or Number)

0.08 (0.0031) 1.542 - 1.546 (0.0607 - 0.0609); 8
0.12 (0.0047) 1.562 - 1.566 (0.0315 - 0.0617); 12
0.25 (0.0098) 1.627 - 1.631 (0.0641 - 0.0642); 25

The Engine has 80K on it.  The knock was slight and only noticeable at
startup.  It is my toy car so I figured it would just be a good Idea to
get in there, replace the Rod Bearings before they became a major
issue, the Main Bearing while at it, Belts, all the Fluids.. yadda
yadda.  Take Care guys, and talk to you soon.
