why not new oem ones? LMAs make a weird sound vs a constant valve train tick.

Valves were adjusted to spec from the machine shop. I didnt pay $600 in head work with new valves, seals, retainers and springs to not spec everything. Only thing that wasn't replaced, apparently, were the lma's
Don't always trust a machine shop, the amount of money you paid doesn't say anything about the work.
I had my head rebuilt a couple of years ago and the shop was supposed to do everything, but I double checked and sure enough the valve lash was nowhere near in spec.

you also adjust them after a few miles as well. GSR needs a specific tool to do it too.

It's much easier to do it with the tool but it is possible to do it with a deep socket and a screwdriver.
I wouldn't recommend it though, it's more of an art form than a cheap bypass. :lol:

You'll need ones that are bent on the end or you'll have to very carefully bend them yourself, watch out though, they break easily.
