Yes,

You will have to measure the inner diameter of the rods big-end so you can size your bearings accordingly.

Yup, just the post to refer to. I would recommend ONLY honda rod and main beaings, as you can get exactly the tolerance you want! Sure, other bearings cost less, but you don't see the V8 guys resizing thier rods and mains to fit those, now do you? (ie. Eagle and many other manufactures fit V8 rods and cranks to fit Honda bearings).
