Description
Supertech Lost Motion Assembly for Honda B-Series VTEC
Supertech proudly presents its innovative Lost Motion Assembly Kits specifically engineered for Honda's B-series VTEC engines. These assemblies are thoughtfully crafted to effortlessly integrate with any B-Series DOHC VTEC engine, such as the Type-R, B16A, B17A, and B18C. The Supertech Lost Motion Assembly is a sophisticated spring device designed to apply pre-load on the center section of the VTEC rocker during non-engagement VTEC mode. This feature is crucial because under prolonged operations, contaminants present in oil can lead to piston seizure, causing potentially disruptive rattling in the VTEC rocker during idle or non-engagement conditions.
Each assembly is manufactured from premium chrome silicone steel. The production process utilizes cutting-edge 3D CAD modeling and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The springs, renowned for their strength, feature a hardened steel and carbide-coated tip, dramatically enhancing durability. By leveraging its decades of spring experience, Supertech addresses and improves upon common market LMA concerns, offering a quality replacement option.
These assemblies replace the factory piston-style Lost Motion Assembly with a more advanced spring design often used in newer Honda engines. It's highly recommended to replace LMAs when installing aftermarket camshafts, becoming essential when dealing with high-lift camshafts. This comprehensive kit, consisting of eight assemblies, serves an entire Honda B-series VTEC engine, and they're compatible with all camshaft types. Notably, for camshafts with a lift of +12.5mm, these LMAs become indispensable. Supertech’s LMAs are 3% stiffer than ITR springs, ensuring further reliability and performance.
