Link is not working but unless its genuine Honda stuff i would steer clear.

Do it right the first time so you dont have to do it a second time

I would have thought Honda would use they're own stuff for their reman rebuilds.

I still say go with OEM but in the end its up to you and your budget.

pistons: OEM or RSMachine (unless using forged obviously)
Bearings: OEM, ACL, Clevite
Gasket Kit: OEM

You have no idea where that ebay crap is manufactured, or if there is any quality control. You think oem stuff is expensive, imagine having to do machine work, bearings, pistons, and replace your f'd up crank after you already paid for this ebay trash.

When it comes to engine building you want quality parts, quality tools and quality machine work, anything less and your motor will make you pay.

i would recommend talking to intec (92TypeR) since they will be tuning it.

Honda isn't using that kit to rebuild their blocks, some other shop who is selling the kit uses that brand for their rebuilds.
