inlinefour.com has spring type lost motion assemblies instead of the old fluid type, if i were to get these on my 1990 jdm b16a head would i need to plug any oil ports or are they a sealed fluid type? heres link:

anyone have any experience with these?

thanks in advance

 

There is a pretty long, detailed thread on those; you might try searching for it. I used them in the last b16 head I ported and they work great. You can get a pretty good price on them from several of the discount Honda parts dealers.

 

28.50/ea is 5/ea overpriced

 

I believe their description is misleading, AFAIK the old style lma's were not hydraulic

honda has updated lma's. i picked some up for my h22 when it got the head.

 

thanks for link!
ill see what kind of deal i can find

*for the record i searched lost motion assembly and got scattered results, LMA!, like we don't have enough acronyms

 

Yeah I am not quite sure why everyone got so caught up on the special grade washers like it was a big deal. Its going into a soft aluminum head.
