sounds like somehow there is coolant getting into the combustion chamber - most likely a blown head gasket as described above or a cracked block (probably not).

You may not have blown your headgasket, it could just be a small hole that lets coolant seep in under the higher pressure of VTEC. Are you running forced induction?

possibly the top of the block may be warped, allowing a little coolant to get burnt. Still its wierd it only happens at vtec..so idk, good luck

Is the block sleeved? It could be the bottom of the sleeves are not fully seated. This happens from time to time.

what was the cylinder wall clearance, what breakin cycle did you run it through, what oil was in it during breakin, what weight is in it now. were the valve seals replaced

?

check your pcv valve. do you have a cold air intake or a clamp on filter on your valvecover breather?
