So... I realized this morning that I've been getting a few things mixed up here. I think it's usually the crank bearings that have to be sized matched. I'm not sure about the rod bearings. I imagine they would have to, but I'm really not too sure. And most bearing material *should* either stay at the bottom of the sump, or get caught by the oil filter. Only time it would make it to the rest of the engine is if some of the oil would get by-passed the filter, which isn't terribly uncommon, but... I just don't know.
Regardless, it is becoming apparent to me that I don't know enough to really help you out, and worse, may be spreading false information. I'll humbly bow out of this conversation and wish you the best.
