    Whiny S4C

    I paid $300 for the one I have now and it basically needed new everything. It was the only one I could find that had a vin tag still attached and wasn't stolen. That was about 6 years ago, so now it's even worse. The only options are to buy stolen ones and live with the fact that you have stolen...

    Whiny S4C

    A new LSD transmission here is $2500 USD without shipping as only the 97-01 Integra Type R came with them and probably 75% of those cars were stolen. That makes legal used transmissions with the VIN still in place almost impossible to find. I'm already $1,200 in to this gearbox because I did all...

    Whiny S4C

    The transmission has maybe 200 miles on it since we did all new bearings and it was making that noise before we replaced the bearings also. We pulled the case apart a couple months ago and none of the bearings had any drag or play to them. It has to be something else.... I know I'll have to pull...

    Whiny S4C

    I've tried a few different gearbox oils and nothing works to quiet it down. It's an OE flywheel with a new pilot bearing (maybe 500 miles on it) and when the clutch is in or the car is not in gear it doesn't make the noise. It's very loud under load during acceleration and a little quieter on...

    I have had some transmission issues in the last couple years and just want to get some input. While my car was down I had all of the worn synchros and shift sleeves replaced and at the same time we did diff bearings and the bearings on either end of the main shaft and countershaft. The...

    B16B LMAs

    I only checked a couple of mine and it was fairly easy to see that they had very little resistance and came up in a choppy manner instead of smoothly. That's good to hear. I'm almost certain mine has to be LMAs, just really don't feel like tearing the head down, re-installing the timing belt...

    B16B LMAs

    Mine is a constant tapping until it crosses over to Vtec. If I hold the engine at partial throttle to keep the intake and exhaust quiet at about 6500 the valves make absolutely no noise which leads me to believe it has to be LMAs. The higher the RPM the smoother the tapping gets, but it doesn't...

    B16B LMAs

    I adjusted them a few times to get them perfect and I double checked everything with the next size up feeler gauge and they were good to go. This engine likely sat for a long time since it came from who knows what country and was imported to California by boat then shipped to me via 3 week...

    B16B LMAs

    When adjusting the valves you mean? I have a set of metric and a set of inch feeler gauges and made 100% they were to factory spec. It has to be the LMAs.

    B16B LMAs

    Mine are definitely piston type LMAs in my 99 b16b head. Just pulled the valve cover.

    B16B LMAs

    Here is a great comparison also of the OE updated B18C/B16B/B16A etc. spring LMAs, the Junk2 LMAs, and the SOS LMAs. Looks like the SOS LMAs are almost identical to stock in every aspect, but are 1/3 the price...

    B16B LMAs

    I'll take a look at that thread too. I'm going to order Science of Speed LMAs most likely. I'll see if I can get a good video of it. My phone mic sounds horrible, but I'll get the GoPro out and try to get one. It sounds like a really bad valve lash adjustment, but the valves are perfectly...

    B16B LMAs

    Understood. I think I'm going to upgrade to the Science of Speed spring type LMAs. That's the brand most 1st gen NSX guys upgrade to, so I trust they will be good in a B16B also. Thanks for confirming. I had a lot of people respond to me on Instagram this weekend with good info as well. I guess...

    B16B LMAs

    I have a 99 B16B in my car and the valvetrain is incredibly noisy even after getting the valve adjustment perfect. I've done all kinds of research and can't find what type of LMAs the B16Bs had from the factory. I know some of the B16A, B18C1, B18C5 etc. had piston type LMAs that were known to...
