Use Honda bearings only (goes for rods and mains)
The rod manufacturer should be able to tell you what # size their rods are compared to oem Honda rods. (example: Eagle rods for a B18/B20 are equal to Honda #3 rods, Eagle rods for a B16/H22 are equal to Honda #2 rods)
Match that number up with the letters on the crankshaft and look up the color bearings you will need in a service manual.

Most likely it will be green color code for the rod bearings. I would call crower, etc. and ask them how they machined the rods. If worst comes to worst, when the machine shop balances the buttom end for you, they can check the clearances and tell you what size/color bearings to order.
