Either way, OEM bearings only.
It's not the quality of the after market bearings that concerns me, it's the fact that they only make one size for a standard crankshaft. Honda calls for an array of the sizes above, depending on the engine.
Traditionally, and still for most other engines, there is only one standard sized bearing. They step up in increments of .010", for a re-surfaced crankshaft. You really need all the sizes above available in order to get the precise, even oil clearance honda calls for.
You won't know exactally what size OEM bearings you need, until you pull the oil pan at least. You use codes on the crankshaft and block, match them to a chart in the helms and order bearings accordingly.
