LS/VTEC's are overrated IMO. Too much mula for what you get. Just build a VTEC B series and save the time and money. Though the hardest part is finding somewhere to get the work done if there are not many qualified shops in your area. I know I would not trust any shops here in San Antonio to do the work. Inspyral stated the best option using the LS rods,etc.

thanks,

You remove the plug and screw in an -AN fitting adapter to run the oil line. I suspect the oil orifice in the VTEC heads don't line up perfectly with a flat surface on the non-VTEC blocks, so you wouldn't want something like coolant from the water jacket making its way in there.

There's a few that sell decent stuff, but for the most part, the scene here is kinda weak. Alot of domestics, and the imports that are around are hella-whack. I've maybe seen 3 or 4 imports done nicely. Its sad.
but San Antonio's alright.
That makes a whole 3 of us on the board
