They can be reused if still good and the best way to spot if they do need replacing is have a good look at were they run on the gear box shafts. They show signs on the shafts first  ;)

Ken, in no way was it meant that way, its not condescending as most builders on here have not had the experience of using micrometers and verniers are just not accurate enough.
It is my opinion that standard micrometers are not accurate enough to measure the very small differences in pin tolerance the Honda use.
I know originally they used air gauges that are accurate to the 4th decimal place in metric and i dont think there is a hand tool made that can be that good.
I can remember being taught in a big machine shop and every student got a different size when measuring the same practice piece, and all were different from the quoted size.
I am not as accurate as i used to be and on the last 400 was only certain that all the pins were the same size.

This was not meant to offend in any way and i would more have expected Graham to be upset at being call an old fart, but i did include me in that.
There are some excellant engineers on here but most seem to be home enthusiasts who i am more than willing to help out using whater expensive kit i have aquired over the past 50 years

It is not worth any member going out and buying the correct measuring equipment for 1 or 2 engines. I have lost count on how many members i have had in my workshop asking, if i could measure up everything so they know it is correct. And some i have found that they had at least one rod that was slightly oval. That would of all ended in tears if they had used it.  ;)

Bryanj:
I agree Graham, by the time you have decent mics from 0 to 100mm(about 4, i dont like multi anvil ones) decent dti, bore gauge, what do you recon £500 retail?
When i used to do a lot of cars, mostly kent and essex fords, you could guarantee an oval rod if it knocked
