runnin it in mine, u dont even notice the extra vibe, well i dont anymore and the only place i noticed that was in the gas pedal. you have to remove the shafts, and put the plugs in and to do that the motor needs to be out of the car...

I'm running the plugs in a H22 Civic and they are pretty cool. I can't imagine the vibration would be too bad in a prelude because it's not bad in my Civic with solid motor mounts.

i understand that you can just take the belt off without any problems?i'm gonna replace the timing belt and do a manual tensioner conversion.don't know if i want to pull the motor .at the same time i'm putting in my clutch,flywheel combo in maybe it's worth it to pull the motor and do it all .(LESS IS BEST)

guys is there really no validity to the fact that vibration ruins bearings inside the motor.....constant vibration is just asking to open up clearances over time....

for a race motor that gets rebuilt often i think this is a good idea, but for a daily driver, i say no, its not worth the risk of bearing failure....especially on some of our budgets....
