im building an b16 engine and want to up the redline from 8200 (i think dont crucify me for the redline guess) to 9500 will honda bearings hold up or do i have to go with a aftermarket bearing

 

Don't think so much about bearings as much. Concentrate on the bottom end strength (crank and rods) and valve springs (to prevent valve float)

 

bearings will hold, get upgraded headwork, get forged rods and pistons...destroking it might an option for you.

 

B16....besides the b16b; the rev king...
destroking is not an option, since b16 crank is the smaller of all b-series
You dont need to do anything to the bottom end besides for safety; add arp rod bolts.
valvetrain needs to be upgraded though
honda bearings are perfectly fine.
