You can either lock with air pressure. There is a port that is sealed with a 10mm bolt on the exh side of the head speficially for this.
OR
Slide the rocker shafts out just enough to take apart the rocker arms from one cylinder, both I & E. Take the 3 arms apart and pull the "piston" out of the small arm with a magnet. Put a small washer or "bb" in there so that when you put the piston back in, it is sticking out a little bit and not flush with the piston. When you put the 3 arms back together, you will have to squeeze them a bit, this is the VTEC pins being locked together. Install them back in the head and give it a go.

Air Pressure did not work for me, too much leak-by or POS compressor. The BB method worked great for me
