VTEC is not a shoe and it can't where out...but like any other machine, without proper maitenance, it will break down

Yes,the high cam profiles fall off and end up in the oil pan.Any trained tech can drop the pan ,clean them off and put them back on for you.I will do it for the reasonable fee of $1,100 an hour.

If you think that's bad, someone stole the VTEC out of my car.
They just popped the hood, took the VTEC out, and ran off.
