Bryanj:
Other answer is to find somebody really good with a micrometer as you need accurate measurements to 1000th of a mm which is not easy, the factory used air gauges where you have a tightish fitting clamp over the pin and put a know air pressure through jets on the arms, more clearance = bigger gap and air gauge cal be callibrated in sizes.
I have in the past fitted all blacks and run the engine in for 500 miles, it does work---racers used to fit all greens i think for more clearance.
Remember Honda used to build these with clearances as if it had already been run in and the surfaces just needed final bedding in

Taking a photo with a flash also helps find them after wiping the area with petrol.

Haha what shark!!!
Nope I can't see anything. And now I'm high on petrol fumes.
Last load of pictures promise. If you can't see anything either am I better using the original or going all green with graphogen?

Hmm interesting. So you can see some colour on No 3,4 and 5 bottom bearings. In real life they look more brown than this, but it could be black thats lost some pigment. They all look the same colour but No 5 is most visible.
There is no colour visible on 1 and 2 bearings.

The markings on the case are BBAAA, I know without the numbers that doesn't mean anything though.
