6th Gen (98-02) Rocker Pins
Any chance anybody has a cylinder head they would sell? I need the synchronizing pins out of the vtec rockers. Car is a 1998 accord LX with the 2.3 L4

Update: Turns out there is absolutely nowhere to purchase the parts.
I went to a u-pull salvage yard and yanked what I needed for 5 bucks!
TIPS FOR OTHERS: Bring a 10 and 12 mm socket. Loosen the head cover bolts and remove the head cover. Now remove the 16 bolts holding the rocker arm assembly. There is a little bit of adhesion, so pry the rocker arm out with a screwdriver. Be sure to bring wire or zip ties, because you need to be sure to wire the pieces together BEFORE you pull the part; this will keep the spring pins from flying out. zip tie each rocker assembly to itself in order to keep the three rockers together, then take a wire from end to end to keep each rocker assembly from sliding off.
Another tip: keep the 16 bolts in. Loosen them all the way out, but leave them in the rods, and they will help prevent parts from falling out.
I will post another update this weekend when I attempt to remove the new components and put them in her car.
Cheers
