SpeedFactory's titanium VTEC eliminator pins lock your B series rockers\n  together so the engine runs on the high cam, all the time, no solenoid, no wiring, nothing to fail when\n  you're deep into a pass. These have been running in the Competition Clutch Outlaw Civic and the Vibrant\n  Performance SFWD Civic for years, so they're proven where it counts. Let's be clear up front though:\n  this is a race-only part. It's built for drag cars that live at high RPM and barely idle, not for your\n  street car. If that's your build, read on.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eStraight Up: This Is For Race Cars Only\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  We mean it, don't put these in a street car. Locking VTEC means your engine runs on the aggressive high\n  cam lobe the entire time, which is exactly what you want on a drag car that's always at high RPM and\n  only sees the line for a few seconds at a time. In stop-and-go street driving, that same setup runs the\n  high lobe at low RPM where it was never meant to live, and it'll chew through your cam lobes and rocker\n  pads in a hurry. This is a purpose-built race part, so build it into a race car and you'll love it.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat You Actually Gain By Locking VTEC\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  There's a real performance reason racers do this, a few of them actually. First, these pins are titanium\n  and come in 37% lighter than the stock pins, dropping 7.6g per rocker assembly. That's weight pulled\n  right out of your valvetrain, which helps keep your valves moving the way they should and fights off\n  valve float when you're spinning the motor to the moon. Second, you completely remove the chance of a\n  wiring gremlin or a cranky VTEC solenoid dropping you out of VTEC in the middle of a run, when that\n  happens on the strip, your pass is done. And third, here's a bonus a lot of people don't expect: with\n  the VTEC system no longer doing its thing, you actually pick up oil pressure to your bottom end and your\n  camshaft spray bars. More oil where it matters.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's In The Kit And How It Goes Together\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  You get 8 pins to lock VTEC on a B series VTEC engine. You've got options on the rest of the setup too.\n  The VTEC solenoid can stay right where it is, an installed-but-not-activated solenoid does nothing, so\n  it works exactly like a block-off plate, or you can run an actual block-off plate, your call. Same with\n  your lost motion assemblies (LMAs): you can leave them in or take them out, both work. More on which way\n  we'd go in the install notes below.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eRead These Install Notes, Every One Of Them\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  This is the part you don't skim. SpeedFactory has run these pins in their own race cars for years without\n  trouble, and these guidelines are exactly why. Follow them and you'll get the same results. Cut corners\n  on any of them and you can wipe out a cam lobe and rocker pads in short order, so take the time to do it\n  right.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCam Lobes And Rocker Pads\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Before anything else, inspect your camshaft lobes and rocker pads. They need to be smooth and in good\n  shape, no scuffing, no scoring, no pitting. If you see any of that, fix it first, because installing\n  these on already-marked surfaces is a fast track to accelerated wear.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eOil And Valve Spring Pressure\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  This matters more than people think, and it's not even specific to locking VTEC, it's true with a normal\n  VTEC setup too. Aggressive aftermarket cams and high-seat-pressure valve springs will wipe your cam\n  lobes and rocker pads if your oil doesn't carry serious high-pressure additives. Here's what we run:\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOil with high ZDDP content, 1200+ ppm. We've had great results with Torco SR-1r, SR-5r, or TR-1r.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eValve spring seat pressure in the 85 to 100 lb range. That's the sweet spot on our race cars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGo much higher than 100 lbs on seat pressure and you'll see accelerated wear, so don't overdo it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eValve Lash (This One's Critical)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Get your valve lash right or you'll pay for it with premature cam lobe and rocker pad wear. On a B series\n  (and H series), measured at the VTEC lobe, your minimums are:\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntake: 0.006\" minimum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExhaust: 0.008\" minimum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Do not run tighter lash than that. We know it feels counterintuitive, but tighter lash here will hurt\n  your cam lobes and rocker pads, so set it to these specs at minimum and don't go under.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eLMAs And The VTEC Solenoid\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  You can run your lost motion assemblies in or out, we've done both successfully. Here's the trade-off:\n  leaving them in lets them act as a helper spring, but it keeps the rocker pads pressed against the cam's\n  base circle. Pulling them out makes sure the oil film doesn't get wiped off that base circle, which\n  helps head off wear, so that's the way we lean, remove them. For the solenoid, like we said, an\n  installed solenoid that's not activated does nothing, same as a block-off plate, so either approach is\n  fine.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpray Bar Oiling Mod (Worth Doing)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  One more thing we strongly recommend any time you're running a locked VTEC, single, or dual lobe setup.\n  Weld shut the cam lobe oiling holes in your spray bars that you're no longer using, then open up the\n  ones you are using to .078\" with a 5\/64\" drill bit. This pushes more oil and cooling to the exact lobes\n  and rocker pads that are now doing all the work, and it makes a real difference, noticeably less wear and\n  a lot more life out of these high-wear parts.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFits These Engines\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  This kit works on VTEC B series engines, including the B16A2, B16A3, B18C1, and B18C5. That covers a lot\n  of the favorites: the GS-R and Type R Integras, the Si Civic, and the Del Sol VTEC.

Compatible with VTEC B series engines including the B16A2, B16A3, B18C1, and B18C5, found in the\n  1994-2001 Acura Integra GS-R, 1997-2001 Acura Integra Type R, 1999-2000 Honda Civic Si, and 1994-1997\n  Honda Del Sol VTEC. Titanium pins are 37% lighter than stock (7.6g per rocker assembly), reducing valvetrain weight to\n  help prevent valve float at high RPM, removing the chance of VTEC dropout from wiring or solenoid\n  issues, and increasing oil pressure to the bottom end and camshaft spray bars. This is a race-only part\n  intended for drag applications with high RPM operation and limited idle or low-RPM use, not for street\n  cars. Proper installation is critical: inspect cam lobes and rocker pads for any scuffing, scoring, or\n  pitting; run oil with 1200+ ppm ZDDP (such as Torco SR-1r, SR-5r, or TR-1r) and valve spring seat\n  pressure of 85 to 100 lbs; set valve lash at the VTEC lobe to a minimum of 0.006\" intake and 0.008\"\n  exhaust on B and H series; LMAs may be left in or removed (removal recommended); and the VTEC solenoid\n  may be left installed and inactive or replaced with a block-off plate. SpeedFactory also recommends\n  welding shut unused cam lobe oiling holes in the spray bars and enlarging the used holes to .078\" with a\n  5\/64\" drill bit for improved lubrication and longevity.
