I have a 1st gen b16 and I am haveing a shop install my CTR cams and ITR valve springs and retainers WITHOUT removeing the head. I am also going to replace the LMAs with h22 LMAs using the washer trick. Is there anything else I should have the shop do While there in there?
thanks
Matt

 

Not sure why you're doing the lma's Matt but everything will be fine.

 

well ive heard that the LMAs in the 1st gen b16 heads are weak and wear out quickly with bigger cams? Do you think that I shouldn't bother worry about them?

so i don't need to replace them? Or no i do need to replace them?

 

^ its cheap insurance... I say do it, so many people skip the LMA's but with alot of these heads that are used, you have no idea how many miles are on them. I always recommend doing it to heads with unknown milage or mild tick if they are out and easily accessable.

 

Whats the washer trick?

 

well the itr LMAs are like 30 bucks a piece. prelude LMAs work just as good but they are a sligh bit shorter that the ITR so you get a washer and put it in then the lma on top and there you go.
here is a whole thread about it
