    Actually if the oil pan is dent up high enough into the pick-up tube, then not enough oil pressure and volume to activate vtec. Ive fixed several cars with this same situation

    Pressure and volume are 2 different things. I JUST had an accord that did this. The oil pan didnt look too bad, but it was dented enough, didnt supply enough volume.

    It takes volume to move the vtec pins.
