Last mouth I posted about a strange low oil pressure at idle. I've been thinking about the V-TEC system. Anyone know if its possible that could cause low pressure at idle? Also when I tore down the block again. I noticed that the oil control button was upside down. This is the single one that's in the middle of the head. I have a hard time thinking that little oversight would cause the low oil pressure at idle but I had to ask. other then that I can't find anything wrong with the block or the head.

 

Oil control button? Do you mean the little oring around the orifice under cam cap #3?

 

ya

 

That little guy shouldn't effect anything that much, the tolerances even without it in there are super close.
