Bad LMAs are annoying.. yes. Nothing to worry about driving with them? All they do when they go bad is annoy the hell out of you... and thats all? thanks for input!!

 

They will get louder and louder, not too sure what damage it may cause though.

Thats what i'd like to know.

Bump

 

might cause a little wear on your vtec lobe from the rocker tapping against it, and not being in constant contact with it. But hell i changed mine out and sounds fine.

Yeah, I changed mine right away, not only was it embarassing but I didn't exactly know if it would damage anything soI didn't want to take any chances.

 

What all has to be removed to install them. Cams?

 

alot of stuff has to be removed.

to save you some time here's the P# for some for a 99 Civic Si:

14820-P30-010

you can use the ones for GSR's, Type-R's, and Del Sol VTEC's also, i think. The only ones w/ different part numbers are the GSR's and Type-R's I believe, but im just a SOHC guy.

say thanks to google, heres the p#'s

 

if I do change them they will be h22 Lmas, using omni's method. My engine just went backt together again, might be a while before I changed them out... just wanted to know if bad lmas will do more than annoy someone,

 

mines are bad too , yes , they are annoying ....

 

what exactly does the lost motion assembly do?

 

The search feature,It is your friend..

so im guessing i'll be fine riding around with bad LMAs? I don't think its going to hurt the OEM cams any. besides that, I dont know what else they would cause to fail. Mine are loud as hell, people everywhere ask me whats wrong with my engine.. oh well.

 

new prelude LMA's are like $80 for a full set, you could also damage your rockers.

 

Just from them tapping?

 

tapping = impact =possable damage

It gets the post back up to the top.

 

I havent bothered with them yet, cams and rocker arms still looked great at 6k miles, i plan on installing the h22 LMAs soon.
