OK. I just bought a bare block and it didn't come with the main caps. Can I use the main caps from the another block but the same block?

like putting the same caps from a b16a2 into another b16a2? As long as it's the same engine, everything is interchangeable.

not really true.

Each honda engine is different. Even if both are a d15b7. You can use the main caps, but you will have to get them line honed so that everything will work right.

what does line honed mean and is it hard to do?

its something a machine shop has to do. You install the caps and make sure all the bores on the mains are lined up and good.
