andyman is the one you are thinking of. I don't know which size ours take, the 8 or 9mm. Either andyman or boilermaker1 will know. You can get either set from tunertoys.com. I'm pretty sure ours are the 8mm ones which are $35 for the set. The 9mm jobbers are $66 for the set.

Gerry did it. You just buy the ARP ones... they sell B series, and everything else. buy the "everything else" bolts, BUT, be aware that the stockers are studs and nuts, and if you plan on punching those studs out with the motor assembled, um, have fun with that.

use a 12mm deep well 12 point on the nuts. Follow the torquing sequence and steps in the honda manual, then throw in an extra 5 lb-ft for good measure.

i see the questions on rod bolts were answered. as for the aftermarket bearing, ive heard of people using acl race bearings for d16's. not sure that i would recommend it though. the oem honda d17 bearings are coated and hold up pretty well. as for spinning bearings, make sure you dont have a bearing thats too thin and make sure the oilers on the crank arent clogged up.
