Do you have to pull the head, to change the lost motion assembly?

 

definitely yes.

 

No. they can be changed without removing the head. I have done it many times.

 

head does not need to be removed.

 

cams do though, right?

Yes the cams need to be removed.

 

ups. so someone made me wrong :/ sorry
What should be removed to replace lma then? It's tapping badly (over 118 kmiles)

 

Have you had a valve adjustment done lately?

 

Thanks !

 

yep. every 10kkm (7,5 kmiles). Lma are heard mostly while engine is cold (or so I was told). I saw lma after 100kmiles, they could be compressed by fingers easily. They were simply done...

 

2point6 is 100% correct.

 

also it depends if you have an older or newer h22.The older ones are simular to the ones in a b series and the newer ones can be taken out with the cams out.The older ons the rockers will have to be removed.

 

Older? Newer? Can you explain please?

 

well I bought a 92 h22 and it had the same style lm assy as the b series and I have two newer open deck style and theres are just a spring.

 

the "newer" 97 and up LMA's are similiar to the ITR LMA. they are not just a spring. Can you show a pic?

 

I believe that the 97 H22A has the spring LMA. its the later years that have inclosed, as i would say, LMA. Have to check the Helms but its outside and i don't feel like going out to look. Tomorrow for sure.

What do the ITR LMA look like. From the Helms as i can remenber the 97 have a spring with a ball looking thing on top on it, and the later years are different.
