WTB B Series Vtec Rocker Arm Assemblies...
I unfortunately need a full set of b series Vtec Rocker arm assemblies.
***Also looking for some Stock hydraulic style LMAs for B series...
Please let me know the cost to ship them to Baton Rouge LA 70809.
I would also appreciate close up pictures of each assembly to see the condition of the set.
Any help in obtaining this would be greatly appreciated! PM or reply to post for contact information or email to supply photos. Any questions let me know and I'l get back asap.
Thank you..

Curious why you're after the hydraulic over the spring type LMAs? Everything I read said go for spring? Although B18C Type R is supposedly not superseded to spring type by Honda while other B series are.

Manufacturer of my aftermarket camshaft said they've had "some issues with spring style lma's"..
After 400-500 miles I went to do valve lash check per mfg instructions and noticed almost every vtec lobe wiped clean of oxide coating... Didn't know wtf that was about. Contacted them and was told the above... Supposedly they were designed around oem style and some but not all have had issues (assumption from wording) when using spring style.
As you have read... (about spring style vs hydraulic) that didn't make any sense, yet it appears somewhat accurate...
- Spring style didn't allow for enough clearance which results in too tight or no gap which creates an oiling issue - paraphrased but that's the gist of it...
So I need all new rockers since my vtec pad is scuffed slightly and cam mfg might be able to polish what I got on the lobe.. Not sure where it'll go just yet...

Interesting, thanks. Possibly the higher lift/duration/whatever of OEM Type R cams is also why Honda says to use hydraulic.

Re: WTB B Series Vtec Rocker Arm Assemblies...
Doesn't specifically matter imo. I messed up.
I've received two VERY different opinions from two reliable sources. When I find out the most likely cause or causes I'll update any relevant threads so that others don't overlook my mistakes.
As for the spring lma.. hypothetical issue is "lma not allowing the pad to fully disengage from the lobe".
- "lma doesn't allow the lobe to swing and keeps constant pressure on the vtec lobe and rocker pad when on secondaries"
So when I get cams back I'll rotate and check with a spring and hydraulic lma so I can see and feel the difference...
