Honda Engine Specs:

LMA = Lost Motion Assembly - It's basically a spring. Honda VTEC motors have an extra rocker for VTEC that isn't engaged most of the time, so without any pressure from the valve spring on the rocker you need something to keep a little tension on it to stop it from flopping around. That's what the LMA is for.

I used to build Chevys, but now only do Hondas, they are fun little cars.

 

thanks soooo much rmcdainels for very good info
