OK, I know its kind of a shot in the dark, but I was hoping someone might know.

Heres the story. I have a new head thats been sittin around for a while, and I am finally getting around to buttoning it all up and getting the new motor together. Thing is, the previous owner dropped a valve, and ended up having to fix/replace a lot of things. The head looks great, no damage or anything, but apparently it was not re-assembled correctly and some things were left out.

Cylinder one, intake side. The center (VTEC) rocker arm syncronizer pin was completely out. I put it back in, but it fits rather loosely. Is this normal or should it be pretty snug in there. Also, on the outermost rocker arm, also cyl.1, closest to the dizzy, the syncronizer pin (which i believe also has a spring) is missing. Nowhere to be found. Can I replace this, or should I just replace all of the rockers on the intake side of cyl.1? All of the others look practically brand new and intact.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully someone here knows what Im talking about....

 

This image may help some understand better what I am talking about

 

rockers arm are pretty expensive...

 

The vtec lock pin should slide easily. They will fall out if your not careful in dismantling/assembling.

 

ok... so how about that outer pin???

 

anyone else have a clue what im talking abou??? lol

 

Correction. I looked at it again and it is actually the middle pin (vtec rocker) that is missing. Apparently someone had moved the one from the far side into the middle, which was apparent once i saw the size difference.

These pics should help a bit.

 

BTW that head ws bought brand new from Acura it is pretty much brand new has probally 3k miles tops on it .

Just find another junk VTEC head and puls the locking pins etc out of it for that head

 

Yeah I know the head was brand new I think it was just a problem directly related to that certain machine shop that re-assembled the head after the valve issue.

Already taken care of though. My peoples at CCCylinderHeads.com are takin good care of me
