DIY D16z6 LMA install
Bored today & I had the day off, so Here's the beginning of my LMA assembly for those of you who plan to attempt the same thing! My Valves, springs & retainers etc, were not removed from the head. If you have any thoughts, or edits feel free to correct me! This is my cyl head cherry......POP!:thehump:
Materials needed:
Red Line assembly lube ( in my case 5w30 & a liquid detergent cap)
12mm
10mm
Straight edge (in my case
, my left eye)
OPTIONAL:
Valve adjustment nut tool (avail. through snap-on, etc)
Feeler Gauges
1. Make sure head is clean (have it checked by your local shop if need be)
2. Lubricate cam bearing area, & gallies
3. Pour oil all over cam make sure it is heavily lubricated (this step works best w/ assm. lube, :slap
keeps work area cleaner! install cam very gently, make sure cam aligns w/ cam bearing area. USING A STRAIGHT EDGE TO MAKE SURE CAM IS AT TDC _ markings should look like >>><FONT SIZE="4"><FONT COLOR="Orange">- UP -</FONT></FONT>
4. Add rocker assebly. I have no pics, <FONT COLOR="Red">BUT YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT THE LIFTERS LARGEST POLISHED SQUARE AREA/SIDE FACES DOWN TOWARDS CAM & THE SMALL TAB FACES UPWARDS NEAR INTAKE MANIFOLD SIDE!</FONT> If it is done correctly you will know exactly what I'm speaking about!
5. Add Motion assemblies, cap & 12mm bolts, hand tighten. then add the 4 10mm bolts and hand tighten...once all tightened torque to spec each d-series will be different,
<FONT COLOR="orange">12mm bolts 14 ft lbs</FONT>
<FONT COLOR="purple">10mm bolts 11, 12, 13, 14 8.7ft lbs.</FONT>
6. Now adjust valve lash according to engine setup...

do you really need to remove the cam? can you do this with the engine in the car, and just pop the valve cover off?
I have the d16y8, and i thought the LMA's were only in the vtec's? well d16y8/z6
