Re: VTEC supposedly not working on newly built B16A motor
I totally agree with you. everything was working fine before with same ecu/wiring. i took out my motor, rebuilt it and put it back in. the wiring is fine, solenoid is clicking. i am also thinking it is the head as it is aftermarket. but the thing is, i am from Bangladesh, and there is no way for me to get a hold of a low pressure gauge to check the pressure. can i plug in an oil pressure gauge sensor there and try to get reading out of it?

You should dissasemble your head, taking pictures of everything each step. We could probably pick out whats wrong.
That would be a last resort type situation.
I had asked him about the o-ring. He said that it was in there.

Re: VTEC supposedly not working on newly built B16A motor
this was two years ago. There are numerous reasons why vtec will not work, it is best to do some research in the model specific forums (check the faq). If you cant find the info you need, post in the model specific forums and someone will assist you
