if you really want ot get technical yes, but in all the years of building Honda/Acura engines, I have yet to see one not be within specs if you go with a set of standard or green bearings.

yes, use green plastigauge for all your bottom end clearences, rods and mains. Check out ACL bearings too, there is a ton of threads on ACL's.
