I did something similar when I installed a d15z6 VTEC-E cam and roller rocker arms into my d14a4 non-vtec head. Used a nut that we ground the edges off to become a circular wide spacer and ground it down so it's narrower and fits next to the spring, simulating oil pressure. It's always locked in 16 valves and since VTEC-E switches on at around 2000-2500 depending on load, idle and low rpm is just fine.
Oh the valve spring trick is a must to share cuz When I was a college kid degreeing the first time a B16 as I clay checked piston to valve I bent the intake It turned hard so I was like “ah the valvetrain is tough” not knowing it was the valve hahaha
Hey, what's up, haven't seen any of your videos a while but I'm on the Facebook page, anyway I haven't got the time as yet to degree my cams but I full understand the process now
Oh nice!! Super glad the process is brewing well now just feel free to throw in a question here or at the page Even if it’s a semi unrelated comment to a video or post il always try to get back to it (easy to track via notifications 🤣)
I have questions cuz I’m a noob 😔 do you gotta do that to all of them ? And do you recommend we get skunk 2 rocked arms the complete set or just that little part ?
Nice question… when we Clay or degree it’s usually just 1 chamber/piston so just lock that rocker arm set (both intake and exhaust on that piston/chamber number)
True it would be hard to turn but atleast just remove the cylinder 1 intake and exhaust springs no need for all of it just don’t install the other rocker arms just the one for cyl1
I think a lot have a misconception of it… It’s simply having an engine or building an engine specifically for xxx type duration and xxx type lift for the specific powerband its only us who has vtec but the engine design and approach is still the same

Yep
Appreciate you showing us this with the valve spring trick, lots of people don't know about it haha , great vid brother!
so true I mean a lot talk about locked vtec etc but nobody shows these

@@SRDmotorsports exactly! No one shows the process
@@SRDmotorsports 😂 damm, well hey you turned that mistake into a lesson you will never forget
and it’s hard to tell if they talking like they did it or hearsay unless shown

very timely...but i think i need to disassemble and remove some of the spring coz aftermarket springs would be very hard to turn😆
True it would be hard to turn but atleast just remove the cylinder 1 intake and exhaust springs no need for all of it just don’t install the other rocker arms just the one for cyl1
Would you be able to do a video on a K-series also?
it’s much the same as the Bseries the vtec rocker is the center etc etc
Can we lock vtec on an already assembled engine? To check V2V clearance
yeah but how can u check valve to valve clearance if the head is on the block?
@@SRDmotorsports any method to check V2V in an assembled engine?
none of
Is it worth it to lock vtec on an NA track car? 12.8:1 compression with pro2 cams

Horsepower in the head FTW
Yessss 😎
Awesome
Yep! I realized we always degree for you guys but have not really shared this so here it isssss hehe
