Hey I'm new to honda tech but I have a jdm b16a with about 75k on it. It's running on a mine's racing ecu with the redline set at 9k. Well someone wanted to race me one morning and I dropped the gear too low at 3rd and the redline started going crazy and I put it back to 5th and kept driving. When I got home I was hearing this ticking noise. Y get to the point I was recently doing a valve lash adjustment and found out where the ticking was coming from and it was a broken valve lash nut one the intake side. So I'm wondering if I have to change the whole intake side or just the bad rocker arm?

 

You can't just pick those up at some hardware store or a dealership. You want to find where that fragment is within the head first before proceeding. Make sure it didn't fall into the combustion chamber..

 

I found it sitting next to the valve spring. Got it out already. And can or cant?

 

It' because I found the whole set online for sell. But I'm just wondering if I can get away with just replacing the one rocker arm set with the broken valve lash nut or do I have to replace all the rocker arms on the intake side?

 

Cannot..

 

Yeah I know I can' find in a store or at the dealership. But what I'm trying to say is I found some used ones on eBay for the all of them intake and exhaust. What I'm asking is for if can I just change that one set rocker arm on the intake side on that one cylinder and keep the rest for spare or do I have to change the whole intake side rocker arms

 

Replace what you need, save the ready as spares

 

Ok thank you for the info

 

Oh one more thing will it work also to use a gsr rocker arm?

 

I wouldn't. Just change what's needed

 

Yeah. It' because the ones I found on eBay say they fit b16 and gsr. So I'm a lil confused there. Almost all of them say that

 

Internally they are the same. Stay away from eBay and their descriptions.

 

Why replace the complete rocker arm ??? The tappet bolt and nut can be purchased individually from the dealership... for like eleven bucks.

 

Oh ok. But how do I get the broken one out?

 

Also the arm makes a little clicking noise too so idk if the rocker arm is still good. I could be wrong tho.

 

Take and post some pictures of the damage so we can help you make the necessary repairs... as well as the appropriate parts selection.

 

I ordered the nut and bolt already but I'll also send you some pics
