so my friend just bought a 95 gsr and was told the motor knocks. car was being sold for 800 so he took it. today while prepping to pull the motor he noticed there was no tap for oil tp the head at all, which led him to realize that the previous owner had actually put a b18b bottom end in it and just slapped the vtec head on. thats it. SUPPOSEDLY the guy had driven the car in its current form before it started knocking.

so the question is...
would not running an oil line fuck up vtec and the vtec solenoid?

can anyone help out
 
it will cause it not to work yes, and why didnt he look at the engine code before he got it
 
its prolly ok, just have to run the vtec correct and find out
 
in case anyone cares, the rods were munched, bearings were pretty junky, and piston rings were shot. new rods and tapped oil feed today. tomorrow new rings, bearings, headgasket, rod bolds. should be good2go hopefully
