what is happening when vtec is suppesed to be on? What is the car doing. is it puling to redline? your oil pressure must be low. clean the vtec solenoid screen. check your oil pan is not pushed up against your oil pick up. check oil level. did the motor warm up enough. Is your VSS working?

did you put the oil squiters back in? did you put the o-ring and dowel back in under the middle cam cap? Are you lower end bearing clearances too large?
