Default No VTEC engagement

I was wondering if anybody in here could help me out with this. I put it in the discussion's forum but I've already tried everything they've suggested and that I could think of. Here's the thread.

Yes, don't we all. But seriously, how did you solve it. It might help someone else out down the line.

As far as the problem, I'm really not sure. What we did was took the oil fitting from the back of the motor (the T) and moved it so it was just off from the main line into the head. We figured that it would be a more direct path for oil pressure, hooked up the T and the oil switch, got it up to temp and "CRACK" off goes vtec like a prom dress. I'm really not sure what did it but my only assumption was the moving the t fitting allowed more volume to the head.
