tapping a vtec head

[awestun]

Does anyone have any insight on how to tap a vtec head for ls/vtec?

[Annihilation]

take the head apart, take the solenoid housing off, open the oil plugs. then using a tap and die set tap the hole . go through and blow out all shavings. then insert a aluminum plug with very little sealeant make sure its a little below the surface or have the head milled

I thought if you got the lsvtec kit from golden eagle no tapping was needed.?

[Tech5]

you still have to plug the hole up or it will piss out oil like crazy!! yo!!!

this kit only installs the head an routes the oil to the head you still have to block off the oil hole !!!

The kit comes with the plug and tap to do it.

Get the GE LSV Kit, it has everything you need to tap the head.

i already got one, it has the sandwich plate for the block but nothing for the head.

Then you don't have the complete kit. It should have the plug with it.

There are plenty of write-ups on the internet, with pictures to boot, that show you step-by-step how to do it. But if you have some doubt, just get a shop 2 do it. Ls/V isn't a smash and grab setup like people think it is. Your gunna get out of it what you put it.
