Hey guys
I am planning on building a LsVtec this winter while my car is in storage, And I know what I need to do, and have done a lot of research on what is all going to have to be done.
My question is related to the External oil line that has to be made on the Ls block and attached to the head...It is suppose to be because the oil pump of the Ls is a POS and can't bump the pressure to 55 when the Vtec kicks in, But in my repair manual for the Integra it says and I quote " The difference between the base engine and their Vtec counterparts is strictly in the components and opperation of the valve train. The engine block, oiling and cooling systems are identical, as are all the components"....So from this it is saying that all the stuff is the same and that realitivly the external oil line is not needed...So why am I puttin it in again, is this a lie in the book, that they don't want to explain the difference or is this true???...Because I know how to make the oil line I just don't know if it is needed...thanks
One other small thing..where is the water neck located on the head, and how do I modify it, to make the oil line fit...thanks
