Sure the number you order does end in the bearing grade. That is not what we
are talking about here. We are talking about the 'stamping' on the actual
bearing itself. The bearings come in Nissan packaged packets with the part
number label attached, which indicates the grade bearing by the final digit.
HOWEVER, the bearing itself always just has the standard grade 0 number
(which ends in '0') no matter what. That's why you have to go by the color
once you have removed it from the packet.

Furthermore, all the bearings I have ordered for my project were '91 B13
USDM model bearings.
