Default valves adjusted,still ticking and no vtec

I had the valves adjusted today by Honda, and now I have no vtec and there is still a tick in the motor. Which it seems to be louder than it was when I first took it in. Oil level is fine, no codes, and just replaced vtec pressure switch. 94 H22a swap.

I need help I am just about ready to give up.

If you had it done by honda, then take it back and have them fix it.

I realize that but I am saying I am wondering if maybe it is something else. I heard that the LMA's start to tick when they start to die, and it is still coming from the valve cover, and not he injectors. BUt I will be taking it back no matter what. Especially for the $140 they raped me for.

I have never gotten the oil light to come on and lately I have been checking it as I have found I have a oil leak at the oil pan seal. I don't think this would cause the problem.

But I am just gonna take it back to Honda and let them figure it out. Since vtec was working before .
