So i got the car back and they seem to think that some one replace parts and didnt install them correctly (cam caps) but they didnt seem 100% on that.
I got dual valve springs and retainers as well as a new stock exhaust cam.... should the car feel any different or just stronger? Just curious since the car feels just a little different, best way I can describe it would be like the flywheel is heavier! Feels like theres more pressure somewhere... like as if i have to push the throttle harder. Maybe since the valves dont have as much slop now that i have a fresh cam shaft everything is a little tighter???? seems like i have to be quicker with my shifts because the rpms drop so fast

if thats how it feels id say your experiencing a motor that is feeling good, a quicker decel means the flywheel would be or feel lighter, thats how a honda should feel light and airy...

I had almost had a similar nightmare, odd that afew of us had lost rocker arms lately...

did you get oem valvesprings or aftermarket ?, higher seat pressures with aftermarket valvesprings can make the engine less responsive, if they were oem springs then it would not have an effect.

they were aftermarket dual valve springs, and retainers.... it does feel less responsive. I feel like the car is a bit slower but im sure its just in my head
