OK, here we go, this is all on a obd0 b16 mind you.

I had a weird lil raspy tick from the top end of my motor, so i went ahead and adjusted all my valve lashes and they were all well within specs.... but the rasp is still there, it got a bit quieter but is still present. at this point i'd have to figure its the cam follower thats making noise, which brings me to my question... is it the follower that usually wears out or where it mounts? I'd like to refresh this head and use it on another motor when i put my LS swap in, but I want to know if this is an issue that anyone else has come across. any help is more then appreciated. Thanks

 

almost possitive its ur LMA'S

That would also be my guess..
Search "Lost Motion Assemblies" under the archived content..

 

I will do some research on that. If it is, easily replacable with the rest of the valvetrain out?

 

You can replace them by removing the rockers and rocker shafts..
The cams do not have to be removed...

Some info here:

PS&gt;In my case that was definitely the problem as
it was in several other instances I had read about...

 

and who says theres no tech left on HT?

Thanks guys.

 

So the jist i'm getting from these threads is to upgrade to the gs-r LMAs because the 1st gen b16s are funked?

 

well anything thats almost 20 years old usually goes bad eventually... so just put some gsr's but there like 30 bucks apiece but u can use h22 lma's and there like 8 bucks apiece but u will have to shim them

 

i'd rather use the right part and not have to boo-rig it. Thanks for the input!

 

GOOD CHOICE
