CX Racing offers a set of F22 accord rods that are 5.588 or 142mm length. Could always shave the head a bit to match if you have adjustable cam gears.
Just spitballing to help your search. Do the F22 journals match B series? or is the F and H engines larger at the journals?
Otherwise, Arias has given me good price quotes over the years with projects. Heck, they only wanted to charge me somewhere around $400 for a one off set of Insight 3 cylinder rods, though the email response had quite a bit of comedy in it, so either they were pretty good natured, or were seeing if I was actually serious.
At least with teh B16B they could make enough sets to cover the expenses of tooling changes and such.

Thanks for getting me looking into this more. I think im able to use f20b rods with the small end shaved, then bore out the 22 mm wrist pin hole and bush back down to 21mm.
The f20b rods are 145mm long, 48mm big end and 23.75mm wide. Thats all the same as a b16a so now i can also use a b16a crank
So i dont need b16b crank or rods now. ( b16a rod journals are wider then b16b so if i used b16b rods id need the matching narrow rod journal crank so the rods dont slap around)

yep, F/H parts were great for NA frankenstein combos within their own families, so I figured it might be a worthwhile ordeal.
Plus if you plan to have to overbore the wrist pin and bush it like you say, you might be able to offset bore it, and get that extra 1mm or so needed for stroke or rod length..

Zeals calculator is still online if you want to check rod lengths for all the 4cyl's
Yeah I have been using zeal autowerks but I had though all F and H rods had a 50mm big end, turns out the F20b does not and is the exact same length I needed.
so this build is going to go one of 2 ways. the direction it goes is determined by how cheap I can find a sleeved block
here is a quick run down on the bottom end (i know this isnt the place lol) (the head will be my b18c1 head that already has springs and Ti retainers in it, ill use pro2's or 3's for cams)
if I cant get a cheap sleeved block im going to use a b16a crank, f20b rods, 85mm b20 pistons and b20 block (1756 cc)
if I can get a sleeved block
it will be a b16a crank, f20b rods, 87mm h23a pistons(0 dome/dish and fit the f20b rods) and a sleeved b18 block (1840 cc)
