Re: When car gets hot no vtec, Please help (VaporTrail)
sometimes no vtec and sometimes its breaking up. which means I should change the distributor. It gives me 2 cels 8 & 22.
you guys think it can be oil pump. I'm getting 0 pressure on idle. does not seem normal

my first thought... that can cause significant drops in oil pressure to the head. your oil pump could possibly be going bad also?

there are little dowels inside the rocker assembly. if on of them are out then low pressure, but it sounds like bearings if u have 0 oil pressure

I changed the oil pump already and checked the dowel pin. I can't figured it out unless my main bearings are shot. the motor only have 2300 since rebuilt. Everything is new in the motor.

I would install a oil pressure gauge if it says 0 then I would pull the oil pan and check your bearing clearances using plasti gauge you can get it at napa. If the oil clearances are to large you will see low to no oil pressure. If the bearing do not look trashed and you have no oil pressure then whoever built your engine fucked up on sizing the bearings. that is all folks
