Lost motion Assemblies
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!

Re: Lost motion Assemblies (B18C Turbo)
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.

Re: Lost motion Assemblies (non-VTEC)
I got the washers from Home Depot. Stainless steel .040" with a .53" diameter. It fits in the very bottom of the LMA bore.
