I have a Jdm B16 fullybuilt. Skunk2 Valvetrain, Crower stage 2 turbo cams, Aem camgears, PNP head. Well i recently disassembled the whole motor and replaced every seal and bearing with oem Honda parts. At the inital startup i noticed a knocking coming from the head so i replaced the LMAs with Oem 2000 b16 ones and after starting again its still knocking. My question is what else could it be or did i use the wrong ones or are the cams just to agressive?

yes if ur turbo cams are equivalent to something like a skunk2 stage 2 cams then ur valve train will be noisier than usaual.

well when i bought the car it had a slight knock coming from the head with the valvetrain and cams in it already but just thought it needed a valve adjustment but i didnt do it since i was pulling the motor out after i installed it again i did the valve adjustment and turned it over and it knocked after i changed the LMAs the knock was lower but still louder than when i first bought it

I honestly think its just your Valvetrain. I mean Bob's car sounds the same way

Pagley

i think it sounds louder than bobs

Were the LMA's new? Did you soak them in oil first?

Pagley

sure did
