Product Description
The Skunk2 lost motion assembly is an advance spring device that is designed
to put pre-load on the center portion of the VTEC rocker when it is in the
unlocked position (when VTEC mode is disabled). During extended operating
conditions, the contaminants in the oil will more than likely cause the piston
to seize resulting in the VTEC rocker rattling when VTEC is not engaging or
when the vehicle is in idle. Each Skunk2 lost motion assembly is manufactured
exclusively from chrome silicone steel using the latest 3D CAD (Computer Aided
Design) modeling and FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to ensure maximum
optimization. Each chrome silicone steel spring features a hardened tip for
added durability. Skunk2 engineers then tested and proved their design on the
engine dyno as well as the race track. Skunk2 lost motion assembly kit
replaces the OEM factory piston design with an improved design commonly found
in new generation Honda engines. Lost motion assembly springs are required
when installing Skunk2 Pro Series camshafts. Each lost motion assembly kit
includes a set of 8 assemblies for an entire Honda DOHC VTEC B-Series
4-cylinder engine (Type-R/GSR, B16A, B17A, B18C).
