yes
and what is more important I know how to spell them all
main bearings are the bearings situated in the block that supports the crankshaft
big end bearings are the bearings that run on the crank shaft crank pins and are situated in the connecting rod large(big)ends
Cylinder head or head is fitted at the top of the bore or cylinder in which the piston moves to give compression for the engine operation
all this is found in a basic engine construction book from your library
you will not get oversize bearings for big ends and mains
you will get .010" undersize bearings if the shaft has been ground .010"
get them from any engine reconditioning shop or good auto spares retailer
if you are only replacing piston big end shells , this can be done on most vehicles with sump removed , but if your bigend main bearings need to be relaced , take out the engine.which i would suggest any how , bodging doesn't always work out cheap.
Sewing machines don't have main or big end bearings. But, an internal combustion engine does. To replace them you will need to strip the bottom end of whatever engine you are having problems with.
v6 have 4 main bearing sets and 6 big end bearing sets v8 have 5 main bearing sets and 8 bigend sets 5 cylinder inline will have 6 main bearing sets and 5 big end set It appears that some where you are short a set of bearings Check that the rebuild kit is for your engine
