I think they could be made to work.
Melt the 4g63 rods down. Build a cast of the 420a Rod. Pour the molten metal in the new cast. Get them drilled taped, bored. Voila! 4g63 rods in a 420a.
see, everything is possible with a little work.

Thanx for making a new guy feel welcome. Anything is possible and you don't know until you ask about it or do it. I guess it really doesn't matter since the motor has a hole in the block. This is the 1st non turbo we have done, we usually do 1g turbos so we have a lot of parts laying around which was the reason i was asking about it. I searched this site and others trying to find out and couldn't find my answer therefore i asked....

If i remember right, (been a long time since i looked) the 420A actually has a larger journal. Don't quote me on that, i just don't have the inclination to look at the FSM for the numbers.

They're close, but i think you still have to take some metal off the crank journals for it, and the small end diameter is probably wrong. Rebushing a wristpin is cheap though. Haven't checked those numbers either.
If there's a cost difference of a significant amount, it may be worth getting the numbers and comparing them. I can't see good B16 rods being any cheaper than a 420A Eagle though.

I bet that they could be found cheaper, used. Lots of stolen Hondas get parted out on various forums. I bet that one could get a set of B16 Pauter rods for cheap. They might even be legitimate, as I am sure that there are people who part built B16s to raise money to swap or build a B18...
