what rods do i need for my ctr pistons to work in my b16a1 crx

heres the deal, i got me a set of new stock size ctr pistons w/rings, my stock b16a1 rods wont work, unless i take them to a shop to cut a little off the inside of the piston so they can be pressed in. what is another rod that will work w/out doing any work on the piston or rod. do they make b16b rods, and are they better then other aftermarket rods. i need to get my car up and running agian. can someone please help.
thanks all at honda-tech

Just mill 1mm off each side of the rod end. I did and it works great. I've been running my motor for two years with this setup and have had no problems. If you think about it in Japan in the b16bs thats probally the way it was.
