Its not bake on, it comes off with a normal wipe.

Take the old stud off and put a new one on. Common for people to break that stud.

The H22A sitting in my yard under cover is starting to look like that. It's got decent sludging at the moment...Probably not as bad, but still a cause for worry considering its there as an 'upgrade' to my D16Y1.

Should I leave the sludge there and continuously change the oil when the engines in and running? OR should I take it apart and clean it properly before she heads in to the EG engine bay?

Woah, if its out, why dont you just take it apart and clean it. Better now than in the car. Change the seals in the process as well. I think the worse thing to happen is the oil pickup get clogged with the sludge...

That reminds me, can sludge build up if the engine hasnt been used for awhile.

Because my car hasnt been started for about a yr before i bought it...

Wreckers won't have that, and if they do they'll tell you to buy the whole head lol It's around 14bux from the honda dealers for the short ones, and 8bux for the longer ones. Bite the bullet man, it ain't that expensive lol

Give em' a ring,I'm sure it will be next day delivery.

We still need a DIY on how to replace the bolt.

Do you have to remove the whole lost motion assembly to replace that stud?

Just watch your toque setting if you do... I broke mine on my old D16
