Bearings are all the same, but the oil pump is differant.

Just be sure to measure your clearances. Can you get the girdle from the A6 crank?

I appears bad info isn't just in the old posts.



It's not a great idea to mix & match girdles between blocks. Even with Honda's precision, there will most likely be some bearing journals out of round. You can get it align-bored to fix the problem, but most Honda blocks that get the crank journals machined like to shatter oil pump gears. Another aspect is switching from A6 to Y8 parts - most A6's use steel caps w/alum girdle while the Y8 all-aluminum girdle with the caps machined as a part of it. I'd pick steel for mains any day.
