the sensors are, but the leads may not be, in other words... the wire may not be long enough for one or the other...

i notice one have a longer "sensor" part, almost twice as long.
I guess I am just have to cut it and solder some wires to it to make it longer..

They may not be the same. The honda O2 sensors are heated. The primary O2 which is on the exhaust manifold could be heated at a different time than the secondary O2 sensor. I am not sure on that but I would check it out before doing so. A friend of mine switched his and now he gets a pulsing phase when the O2 is cold.

I would agree with that as I work for a parts store and they are more than different in length!!
Specs are different!!
