Honda recommends you let the car idle at 2k for about 15 minutes any time bearings are replaced. That's what honda says, that's what I do

That would be correct... bearings have a break-in period. It's not long, but should always be done. They must get in their groove, but as far as a procedure...
I never heard of the 15 min thing...
