no vtec after rebuild opinions needed

[greasemunkey]

[LEFT]ok sorry guys for another no vtec thread, but I am just needing help brainstorming, I just got done rebuilding my gsr and finished with no cel's and the car runs perfectly fine, I've dealt with this issuse before, but I alwas had a cel or something to clue me in as to where to look. everything works, just hooked up an oil pressure gauge because after doing some research, I could only come up with 2 reasons why it wont work the oil pressure checks out just fine and i have cleaned the solenoid twice, tested it off of the battery and heard it click. but anyways the 2 reasons I came up with were low oil pressure(scary) or dented oil pan. I do have a dented oil pan, however I did before the rebuild and I failed to notice or care since it worked fine before the rebuild. It could have been dented worse during the rebuild though I doubt it. I'm trying to stay away from having to take it off and put new oil in it since I just changed the oil. Any opinions on what else I can do would be greatly appreciated

-knock sensor ruled out of ecu
-ran the knock sensor wire to it to see if it would work and it didn't help(though the vtec solenoid had yet to be cleaned and was full of bearing material) hmm...should I try it again?
