Maybe the battery I bought is a little wider? I got the Autocraft Gold battery. I hope AdvancedAuto does returns on batteries.

The battery you have must have a really big case. The one I got at Batteries plus clears the junction block and intake by about an eighth of an inch on either side. It's a snug fit, but the one I got does fit without contacting anything around it.

length?

I researched various 51R batteries and there does seem to be some variation on the length measurements between brands. You might want to check before purchasing a particular 51R battery. My OEM Honda battery's still functioning but I AM doing this when that time comes. $40 less for more amps seems like a no brainer.
