Wasn't getting much help over in the "all motor" section so said i'd ask in here

Basically can anyone confirm if the new spring type LMA's will fit a type r head?

Part no.14820-PCB-305

I had a look on autodynamics-honda and it says they are only for non type r B series

Here is what you want -

14820-P73-J01

$36 a piece...

 

Thanks for reply. So the spring type is definitely not a option?

 

Yes they will work so will the H22 LMA springs with a .040 shim.

 

I used the Prelude lma...$8.xx ea. with stainless washers underneath for spacers..
no problems for 2 yrs... constant 8~9k shifts and occassional over-revs..lol

Would it be a wiser choice to get the spring type and shim over the older type lma's? Also is there anywhere online you can buy the shims?

 

Home Depot ^^

 

Yep most people just use a 8mm stainless washer under the spring. I made some spacers out of hardened tooling steel because I have seen cheap washers get smashed by the force of the spring.

 

8mm as in to accept a 8mm bolt? As .040" is only a little over 1mm! hardly anything when you think of it. I found a company that should be able to make these up so i'll get 8 of the spring type ordered
