? engine are we talkin about , different engines have few different ways to engage for checking clearance, generally you can pull rockers apart and put some sort of spacer inside rocker with engagement pin, to lock together, , of course only need to do on one cylinder, and make shure to remove.

"switch the VTEC pistons in the rocker arms so that it locks the VTEC rocker in place"......there is three little VTEC pistons right? what do you switch? or can someone just explain that part??? i knew how to do everything else i just wanna know how to make it stay in VTEC. thanks.
