im sure many people figured out by now that most of OEM Honda parts are made by some other company than Honda.

water pumps NWP brand are same as oem
nissin brakes and more
teikoku-piston rings
taiho-bearings
daido-bearings
Mitsubishi- alternator
denso
koyo
Nippon-headgasket
hitachi/tec-distributor


stone/ishino- engine gaskets( aftermarket but good quality


I tried to find a source for cheaper taiho bearings but only found them in STD size not like dealership color coded.


what other parts does everyone use that are oem quality. and where can I buy them

theres a lot of different brands now making parts that are supposedly to OEM SPECS
but like with felpro and JIS cam seals they do not measure same as oem parts

They will not "measure" the same because they are not OE parts. Most manufacturers source parts from "3rd party" manufacturers, such as Nippon, Denso, Matsushita, etc.

An "OE" part is simply a part approved for a particular application by the manufacturer. NTN and SKF bearings are far superior in applications for which they can be found. It is a double edge sword, some aftermarket parts are better, some worse, some are the same as OE. The only real difference is the part number branding if it is, in-fact, and OE part.
