XacurhonX,

Your right, it definitely is cheaper and I hope this works for you.
Obviously when I had mine fixed there were no mod fixes like that. The dealer just replaced the whole thing. (Probably more cost effective for there warranty labor)

Let us all know if it works and how hard or easy it was to do.

Also, I noticed that my Prelude was drinking a very small amount of oil. Towards the 3000 mile mark (Oil change) I was down 1/8 of a quart. I use to enjoy the VTEC zone too much. Never smelled burning oil though.

........Keep us informed.
