Should'nt be a problem. I have passed with the same. You never know when the smog guy will be looking for a reason not to test Your car though?

as long as you don't have any problems with the sniffer stick getting close to the rollers your all right. that is if you even have to put it on the rollers. my 88lx didn't have to go on the rollers.
