mine did that but the two plugs that are on the solinoid where crossed. does your gasket leak?

check the oil, and then take off the vtec solenoid, and clean it with some carb cleaner

I'm surprised it took that long for someone to mention vtech fluid... I was expecting to see that in the first post.

shouldnt this be in forced introduction?

cause as we all know vtek > turbo-S/C
