What Vin #'s In My02 Have The Upgraded Oil Bolts?
I have seen the post where the engine numbers are listed, but I am curious if anyone knows what VIN's have the upgraded oil banjo bolts. I.E. if theres a way to tell due to the VIN you are looking at...

Honda had a recall in Europe in 02. Honda said there was no need for a recall in the US but subsequently started installing the new bolt halfway through 02 
The newer bolt offers better oil flow to the pistons. There had been a few expired engines up to that point.

Yeah....I have heard of a few engine problems due to the oil banjo bolts, but nothing gives a confirmed or even ballpark idea what VIN's were actually upgraded. And yes I have done a search and I got nothing.....somebody help...the only other solution I can think of would be to call the Honda dealership, which I may do if nobody here can help....

I did a search and found this helpful thread:

It was reported that MY 2002 cars with engines above #1025386 had the new bolts. However, when I dropped the pan on a MY 2002 car with engine #1025376, it had the new bolts already installed!
