Well, starting to put my head back together and found out I have mixed LMA's. I have 2 pointy tipped LMA's and i have 6 squARE CYLINDER tipped ones. The squarish ones dont go down far if you push them in, but the cone pointy tipped ones go down further and it appears they are slightly taller?!

Wtf?! LMA's @ the dealer are $34 each! No friggin way!

 

I have read every single thread on these LMA's and only a couple were helpful. Im thinking about switching to 99-01 prelude LMA's and using the .040" shim underneathe.

I cant find the 1 thread where it was proven disasterous to do this? help.

 

Ordered 8 of these

14820-PCB-003

So cool how Bernardi honda is 20 minutes from my house but I order online because im too lazy to drive there. Will be picking up the .040" shims tomorrow.

 

I swaped out the old LMA's to the 99 prelude LMA's. 9k miles and it still purrs.

 

alot of people use those prelude ones with shims. the style of the lmas changed in the newer motors...gsrs and type rs have the better ones

ya but you have a92-96 prelude lol.

I already have them ordered im just worried that with the shim there its going to rattle/vibrate and make noise?

 

We ran Prelude LMA's in Xsi-T's B16 head. No problems
