If YOU were the one that broke the joints there, how they came loose would speak bunches.......................and if eyes wide open it becomes pretty obvious when someone has been in engine before you, the engines have so many parts and so complicated it is generally easy to find evidence somewhere or another that someone has been inside. Very hard to get them apart without at least a few dings and dents. Very few people can get rods apart and back together as cleanly as Honda can, the bearings will show it in scratching or other.
Gonna get controversial here for a moment, in my belief you risk as much by changing the bolt as using the old one, the old pressed in slightly and the rod has molded or settled itself in to that press. Change the bolt for another and you really if doing it 100% correctly are supposed to re-machine the big end after the new bolts are in, they can be in a slightly different spot. Say new head slightly off from the body or OD not as big or too big or other minute detail. Other people switch those bolts willy-nilly and claim no issues but after drag racing a lot of high rpm car stuff I came to understand it can be better NOT to change the bolt unless one has a very good reason to do so. I think doing it can lead to other issues that are not later thought of if the engine comes apart as in instantly, or a bearing spins. A new bolt can as well have a different radius under the head to preload at the broach, that can absolutely blow a motor. A new bolt is untested too, what if one has a flaw in it? The old ones have already proven out.
See how some of that can work? Food for thought.
Look around, thinking there are some 1100F bolts that are not spiral knurled on the sized body, they are much stronger as a result.
