Default did u know? the bottom ends are different on 4th gen & 5th gen. HELP

im rebuilding my h22a and i bought some stock pistons and scat h-beam rods.($$$) turns out the scat rods require fully floating wrist pins and the stock pistons require pressed wrist pins. OUCH. I cant return the pistons so i had to send back my rods less the 15% restocking fee. NOw I'm trying to find some stock rods. My oh so great parts supplier said hes called 8 of his guys and cant find them anywhere. He said this was due to the fact that they changed the crank, rods, and pistons in the 5th gen, so no one buys 4th gen parts i guess. I called the honda house and they more or less confirmed this. so... where can i find some stock rods? or any other suggestions are appreciated. I want to get my car back on the road. are there any other rods i can use?

Check the for sale forum. They should be easy to find.
