So i ordered the new valve springs, and some other parts on majestic honda and got a e-mail today saying that there are NOT any A18(new) intake valve springs in the US. Fuck My Life.

Edit: Here is the e-mail

[labeledsk8r]

damn that blows, sorry i gave you that link i figured honda wouldnt list it if they didnt have it

[Tdurr]

^^ so did i. lol. so now i gotta go to a JY. Fun. Guess ill take a few tools with me.... I wish bisi made some springs....

[AccordB20A]

easy way to remove valve springs from a head... hammer and a extension and a socket, but the socket end on the valve retainer and hit it sharply and fast and the cotter pins will fall out and you will have springs

[Tdurr]

^^ shit good info. lulz. I will be doing that and putting them in my jacket if i go.....

same place i ordered the oil filter housing gasket (part between the block and the riser for the oil filter) they said they could get it , turned around and said that it was on back order, went to the local Honda dealer they got it the next day by 3pm

so which springs from the a18 are different and which are the same? Do I need to grab the intake, or the exhaust springs? Or should I get both?

[Tdurr]

^^ from what i read its the intake valves. I was on Prelude power and the exhaust springs are the same stiffness on both, and there is 2 styles of intake springs on the A20(fat one and a skinny one) and i think they dont hold high rpm's as well as the A18's.

[2drSE-i]

im pretty sure its the exhaust springs, actually. The exhaust ones are the only ones that are dual spring im pretty sure.

[Tdurr]

really? Thats not what i got from searching....

[AccordB20A]

yeah on the a20's i have ripped they are like that too

[Tdurr]

yeah on the a20's i have ripped they are like that too

what? im so confused...

[MessyHonda]

the a18 intake spring can rev faster...less valve float

[Tdurr]

^^ i pm'ed rjudgey and he said the intake and exhaust springs both are stronger. So yea. i guess if i find a head im gonna get both.
