When we were trying to time the cams with it out of the engine, we had the same problem. The mechanic said it was probably because of air leaks and should be good once everything was hooked up. Well, he was mistakingly wrong. Does anyone know what could cause vtec on the exhaust cam not to open up? Ive just been driving it around with the 175 whp because i need the car for school. I want see if there is anything I can try before we have to go take the head off.
