You can take one of the synchronizing pins and put it in "backwards" and it will lock them together.

12NV has also stated he has found a BB to work.

Please tell me you understand how VTEC works. Looking at the rocker arms disassembled, it should be fairly obvious where the BB goes.

That's what I've been doing for years. Since then, I've refined to pocess a bit by hooking my air up to a small oil tank and pressurizing the rocker assemblies with oil instead of air. There is a special tool needed to block off the VTEC spool valve...I just made one.

Helms is the ****!

Works good for cam degreeing, which is what this thread is about, but is a little cumbersome for v2v checks.
