Hey guys Im about to tear down my Fsde motor to give it an ov everhaul. Ive been researching parts and I noticed a lot of ppl remomend buying the full rebuild kits. These kits come with gaskets, rings, pistons, main and rod bearings etc. Im rebuilding it because its burning oil and also a little coolant. I didnt spin any bearings or starve anything of oil. My question is how can so many ppl use these kits if they dont let you choose a bearing size. Are ppl just using standard size for everything given that there is no damage.

Pretty much. that's usually a later thing to be damaged and takes less damage (the soft bearing is sacrificial).
Or, since these cars are cheapish and tend to be rebuilt cheaply people don't check and/or don't care about super precision fit.
