i've came across some threads on cylinder failure or engine blowing up out of nowhere without over-rev or low on oil( indicator did not flash on dash) events.

i have a 01 model and would like to know is it a necessary thing to do to replace all the oil jet bolts? and which upgraded ones to replace with?

I did the replacement for a car that saw track service, but I wouldn't bother if it's strictly street driven. The failures are typically seen after prolonged high-stress use, like what would happen on long high-speed drives. This is not likely seen on US highways.

If you want to do it anyway, it's not that expensive (about $50 in parts) and be very careful with threading in the new jet bolts.

guess 2 track events in 1 year and 3 autocross events will most likely put me into the replacement category ?

For the peace of mind, it's worth it

i just have a basic ratchet wrench , is there any specialty tools or sockets that will make life easier for me ?...any pre-caution i should take?

so the oil jet bolts can be ordered from honda or hard top guy?

Here are a couple of threads to check out that give some pretty detailed advice and discussion about the oil jet bolt replacement. I'ts not too complicated, but important to do correctly. It is imperative to have a good mechanical sense to avoid cross-threading this important component into the block.

Hard Top Guy sells OEM Honda parts at discount prices, so you get the same part for less money.

CKit

Or check out majestichonda.com or collegehillshonda.com

Both have great OEM pricing!
