Since you don't know what you're doing, (and you obviously aren't getting any help here,) they can tell you the right size.

Of course you don't have to listen to me. Seeing as how I've never built a motor before. /sarcasm

I'm the MORON? You need to re-think that statement. I tried to help you out by telling you to go to a machine shop where that probably orders bearings on a daily basis.

Anyone who has built a motor (and knows what they're doing) wouldn't be having to sit on Honda-Tech twiddling their thumbs for three or four days bumping a thread like a desperate newbie.

If you really do build motors, then you should have enough rapport with a machine shop or an OEM Honda Parts shop and it shouldn't take you more than a few minutes on the phone, or worse case scenario take the goddamned crank and rods by.

Having been a mechanic in an ASE certified shop for the last three years doesn't make me an expert on everything, it DOES make me an expert on where to GO to get certain information or problems fixed. I'm not going to sit here and argue with you... but if it were me I would've had an answer from somewhere days ago, even if it wasn't on H-T.

On a brighter note, even though you have a cockbite of an attitute, I hope you get your answer in a couple of days and get your car back running right.
