OHH HELL NAH!!!! HAHAHAHAH

 

Just to be sure:

You're putting a Si head on your Type R?

Is this a USDM R motor? The oil pressure switch in the vtec solenoid might be not working right, even if your oil pressure is good.

Just because the solenoid clicks, doesn't mean for sure it's moving completely. It's a good sign though, try cleaning it out or swapping with the one from your old head?

If you have no CEL, and no VTEC, it almost has to be the VTEC oil pressure switch or the solenoid is sticky (but not burned out if it clicked.) Dbl Ey! in this forum had it happen recently, or was it Wai... anyhow it's not uncommon, swap solenoids with someone and try again.

Haha, yeah owned again.

 

Another two things--

Search archived topic titles for "engaging", there's 111 results about half are about VTEC engaging.

If your VSS isn't connected (speedometer not working) you won't get VTEC.

If you're not moving, you won't get VTEC.

If you're not warmed up you won't get VTEC (duh).

VTEC Solenoid screen could be clogged.

Coolant temperature sensor could be busted. (Should get CEL though).

 

1) make sure you paid your bill.
2) Check to see if you have a Type R
3) GTFO

 

I REALLY hope that you had the head disassembled and cleaned before you put it on your block!!!!! When a motor blows for a number of reasons there is alot of shavings and fragments that flow everywhere oil does! You could very well have a "gummed up" head , and pressure switch to where it does not see the proper amount of pressure. Also you could EASILY shorten the life of your crank and rod bearings!!!!

 

It's VTEC, and lose attitude next time.
