    Re: Rendons Offical A To B series thread!!!!

    well a spring would theorhetically never need to be rebuilt (or at least less often than a hydro). but this could be argued. people don't seem to give it a lot of thought as if ones better than the other unless they're using a highlift cam. the extra lift is what wears out the old style (hydro) or prolonged use (high mileage). honda released the spring type later with a larger contact patch to increase protection to the cam. you can buy an even stronger spring type or you can go with the later model spring types from the itr/gsr and or h22.

    Re: Rendons Offical A To B series thread!!!!

    Pat said it pretty detailed. Basically applying more pressure. But what we did is just took off the rockers an took the old LMA's out put a .40 thousands washer for the base depends on your wear on the cam. Slid in the h22 LMA's . It's up to you if want to do em. To MEE it felt way better an it's alot more quite also. Vtec sounded smooth.

    Well I got me a 99 si p30 intake manifold. I have to drill a hole for the IAt since it's blank lol. I'm looking for a h22 tb but if not I'll get a omni 70mm

    What year did Honda switch to the spring type LMAs? Sorry to be off topic, but I've been wondering WTF is going on with the ticking in my girlfriend's GSR on startup... I thought it sounded like hydraulic lifters (like my Miata used to do), but didn't realize there were any hydraulic valvetrain components until this thread got my curiosity peaked.

    i believe for the b16/itr/gsr the b16 first received them in the 99-00 revision. I'm not sure that the GSR ever had a redesign but you can buy aftermarket or use the h22 LMA's.

    my d16z6 had lma noise. i realized it after i had already swapped back to a non-vtec head which is a bummer but i didn't like the whole mini-me concept anyway.

    Re: Rendons Offical A To B series thread!!!!

    Well I decided to rebuild my head on my own . The deck is straight as a arrow check via straight bar "snap on" is within spec.

    The tool I bought is so nice. Euroexport valve spring removal too for h an b series vtec heads on or off car



    Here I'm screwing down the spring. So simple yet easy


    Before



    After



    Outcome new stems an valve stems supertech.



    If you see the old pic of he head it was good but it took me 4 hrs to clean this thing an valve seats where in great shape.

    Re: Rendons Offical A To B series thread!!!!

    What size are those valves?
    I'd be tempted to do a full head skim just to make sure it's flat unless you've gone over 100% to check with the right tools. Certainly would be a bit carefull using a buffer on it.
    I think you could gain a nice increase in flow with some work on the throats into the valve seats, and having the seats cut with a 1mm seat and have the valve matched and backcut to suit. Wouldn't cost much to do either.
    Have you got a pic of the throats or ports at all?

    Re: Rendons Offical A To B series thread!!!!

    Did a fuild test on each valve used a snap on straight edge to see what's the max clearance an it was in spec by far. Tools where provide by my school which I'm attending . I don't know the valve size but there in incredible shape. Head was in working order when I got it. I just wanted to clean things up. Jdm b16a heads are better then any head beside the c5 head which is the same but slighty ported not much. I'll upgrade the LMA's later an do th itr valve train down the road.

    Re: Rendons Offical A To B series thread!!!!

    No pics I just snap shot when I had it mostly together. The throats where good as well. The fuild test was nice. Did it before an after which I had some loss in cc but that was due to carbon build up . But after clean an hot taking the head did some grinding in the throats not much just to take the debri out mostly out of the exhaust side. The intake side was super clean.

    Looking good Josh. All the cool kids are going b-series now! hhaha.

    We will have to have a big west coast meet, or at least NW meet one of these days, maybe near the end of summer or early fall.

    i would use the pictures that you have taken and send them to innovative to have them adjust the mounting holes. At least at that point there will be "bolt-in" B series mounts, now just for a company to make correct axles for the swap......

    Re: Rendons Offical A To B series thread!!!!

    I agree bit for axles is not hard you need the 89 lude left axles an 90-93 teg pass axle with a 1gen b16a mid shaft . All is perfect fitmeants. Im going to bore out the holes on the tranny mount so I don't have to weld it. I will send a photo to them concerning the problem.

    Once this person cough cough gets some stuff of me cough cough I can be on my way to completing my project lol
