Default Are my Lma's going bad?

WEll only reason i ask is becaue vtec engages different everytime. Meaning somtimes it hits harder then others. And i swear i can hear them clicking back into place after i let off the gas..

i dunno... any insight?

How can you hear them over the sound of the motor running?

maybe its all in your head. it might be louder cause theres a heavier load or something but check your oil pressure

its kinda like.. say i run second gear just enough to hit vtec.. Then i push in the clutch. I can hear a clicking sound as soon as i let off.

ill prolly upgrade to itr or h22 lma's eventually.. Just wondering basically what signs are typical for bad lma's

You might want to check your valve lash you might have to readjust your valve gap.

You sure it's not coming from your tranny or clutch and flywheel?
