Default Claying an engine

I hate to sound like a dumbass, but what is having an engine clayed? I think that I have an idea, but I am not positive. Sorry to sound like an idiot, but just want to know.

You sound like you want to learn more, which is great. When I was new here, I used to go through these threads, I still go over them again sometimes.

The general section is great, specifically 'A realistic look at heavily modifying a Prelude.'

The engine stuff is all great, especially the last few threads in that section. The hybrid engine section is good as well. Read all of it.

Swap the VTEC pins so that the 3 rockers will be locked together to simulate VTEC. Or you can plug the hole in the head as shown in the Helms and pressurize the oil galleys in the head with compressed air. Then clay as normal.
