    difference between rockers for A20A1/2 and A20A3/4 ?

    Hi everybody,

    I've come here from prelude power I think you guys might be able to help me on this.

    I need to buy new rockers, and Honda Australia has told me there are different rockers for the A20A1/2 VS the A20A3/4. They have different part numbers and the A1/2s are twice as expensive as the A3/4s ? Are they different to A18 rockers?

    Does anybody know what the difference is? If in fact they are different... I thought they were all the same -- at least superficially.

    Would it matter what ones I was to use in an ET/A18 rebuild?

    Thank you so much for your help even though I'm an impostor lude driver...

    Cheers,

    Hayden

    Come on guys, somebody has to know whether the carb vs FI rockers are different in A20s!

    Should this thread be in the FAQ section, by the way?

    Cheers,

    H

    I can't believe nobody can answer this question! Does anybody know if they are at least interchangeable?

    I don't see any reason that they couldn't be interchanged. The head castings are the same, either cam can be run on either head. So I believe that the rockers are interchangable as well. I can not recall if I used the A3 or the A1 rockers on mine though.

    Thanks very much, i called up honda again, and it turns out they are the seem afterall - the fuckronaut I originally spoke to gave me the rockers for the 3rd gen prelude by accident, hence claiming they were different and double the price...

    So I am relieved, thanks for you help

    lol i could have told u they were the same if i saw this thread from the get go. Next time, go to hondapartsconnection.com and look up part #'s to see if they are the same. If they are then ur good to go.
