Okay, i have a brand new built LS block with a used B16 head....... Basically LS/Vtec..............I was driving yesterday and i started to see my idle going really low. Like around 600 rpm....... Then later on, when i was driving, i put it in neutral, it died out on me! I would start it up and it would be fine again. Then i started to hear ticking noise, assuming valves cause it cant be rod knock cause i have a brand new built block, i have oil, and rod knock makes a really loud knocking noise........Anyway, i kept driving cause i had to go to work and i would try to accelerate, it wouldn't go, it would like take forever just to go up 1 mph.......... Then i slapped it back to neautral and it died out on me......... I cant' figure out the problem guys! I check the timing to see if i skipped a tooth because i needed to change my timing belt, but the cam gears teeth were aligned...........Please help me honda-tech members because i spent a lot of money on that motor! Please give me some answers, thank you!

This sounds internal. Check your oil for metal shavings.
