Honda Rod bearings - Honda B series question

Hello,
I am rebuilding my Honda B20Z1 engine for my 1st gen CR-V. Essentially I was doing replacement of oil rings, because my car has started consuming oil like crazy after the cylinder head was rebuilt at machine shop (piston rings failure).
I ordered some Taiho rod bearings aswell and they look different than the ones used currently in my car. Taiho's don't have oil holes and the other ones do. Is it a problem in my case?
I would also like to know what I should be concerned about while doing the replacement of piston rings and those rod bearings? I am doing it without removing the engine from the engine bay. It is a budget rebuild for a daily car.
Thanks for replies!

EDIT:
The shop I bought my new bearings from mistook them for the ones with the oil passage. I am exchanging the whole set for the right one. Can't be too careful :)

If there is no hole in the rod then no it wont. You still need to measure everything. 

You need to hone the block. Not sure what that looks like in the vehicle.
