Default Vtec locker cam set up

So I got a motor swap with the vtec lockers, now I do not want to keep the lockers on. Does anyone know how I would remove these? I have searched and searched and found nothing... I know my vtec solenoid is not connected. I am also not sure where to post this. but my car is a 2000 civic si. motor is lsv b16 head. I am trying to sell the car and everyone is turned off my the locker set up so I want to remove it. any help?











hope these help but its all I can do right now. yes I know i need to change my oil!

without knowing what setup you have there's not much help we can give you.

X2^^^
There are lockers that eliminate the VTEC function and there are those that keep it in VTEC all the time. Ferrera made the former and I think KMS made the latter.

Well since my vtec solenoid isn't connected I am guessing its eliminated. I will figure out what I have then post pics. Thanks for the feedback. They might have been custom made too... I am trying to contact the guy who built the motor too but I am having no luck.

you could have the solenoid eliminated and still have the stock rockers though.

- pull valve-cover
- take picture of rocker arms
- re-install valve-cover
- host picture on photobucket
- post picture here

won't know till we see it.

Worst case: has custom rockers with no VTEC system which requires full OEM rocker sets to be installed
Best Case: has stock rockers and just need proper pistons re-installed

those are stock rockers so all you have to do is disassemble and put the pistons back in (or rearrange depending on what they used)

those appear to be oem cams... why the hell would anyone bother to do this?

Are you sure they are even locked together? Did you try pushing on the center rockers on the ones that are not against the lobes? In some of those pics, it looks like the center rocker is opened more than the side ones...

They are gsr cams I was told, I'll try to figure it out. I really want them gone, I know vtec does not engage, and it sounds close to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nidxuvNoqk not as loud but it doesn't sound like a honda.
