I dont fully understand the oil bolts...better lubrication? Does the 2002 model already have these?
If someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

If you search "oil jet bolt", you will find lots more on the subject. Part way through MY'02, Honda went to the new bolts. The new bolts have 4 holes while the old ones had 2 larger ones. The bolts feed oil to the jets. The engine serial number when this change happened is posted in one of those other threads.

I really appreciated having the info in this post when performing the bolt swap last night. Thank you.
While performing the operation I found a few things that may help anyone else doing this for the first time. These are not in the original post and freaked me out a bit when I encountered them.
1. There is an AC compressor mount near the front driver's side of the oil pan. Just remove the two lower AC mounting bolts and the pan will come off with the AC remaining in place. The mounting block will remain attached to the oil pan. When I first saw this I thought I may have to take the AC compressor out which requires the alternator to be removed prior.
2. Before rotating the crank shaft, put a small piece of rag in the bottom of the oil pump pickup. Be sure to remove prior to installing the oil pan. When I rotated the crank the first time I got oil dumped in my face, not so great!
3. A wabler adapter (end where socket goes is rounded so the socket can pivot just a little) on the end of a flex shaft made getting oil bolt number one threaded a snap. It took no more time than the others.
I hope this additional information helps.

here is the engine serial number range so no one has to search for this anymore:
All engines after #1025386 in '02 and all '03
now, where is the serial number on the motor?
*edit* later in the thread i read that is here CoralDoc attempted to do the oil jet bolts on a motor that had serial number #1025376 (ten motors before), but found that the updated oil jet bolts were already present. so this number is not concrete.
