Default H22 w/2 problems

H22 in a 92 civic CX
P28 Chipped (base tune) & stock P13
Sk2 IM (no egr)

problem 1. vtec disengauges after 2-3k rpms
VTEC will engage, will last for about 3k RPM's then Cuts out and a cell comes on. Code 21.
Manually checked solenoid , and it clicks/engages.
Hard wired it from the solenoid to the ecu. (A4 pinout). Still will only engage for about 3k RPM's.

problem 2. Leak coming from top right corner of head.
Thought it was just a bad seal on the HG, so I replaced it with a new one. Still leaking , same spot.
The whole build has about 90miles on it. Gotta work out the bugs, so we can boost.
If it matters The motor:
H22 Sleeved by Benson
9:1 CP pistons
Eagle rods
balanced crank = Benson
New everything H2O pump,oil,belts,bolts,bearings everything
Morosso Oil pan & pick up (replaced after 90miles with stock set pan/pu)
Head PnP by Portflow
Supertech valve train
new seals
Skunk2 Pro-seiries IM
BDL 70mm TB
Hasport mounts
DSS axels
Kazaa LSD
CC twindisk

what was I spelling?kazaa? KAAZ LSD.

as for the oil pressure, I'm not shure. I have no press guage hooked up. I thought about that, but wouldn't my stock oil light come on, or start to come on if oil press wasn't there?

that is where my oil spell is happening. This is the 1st H22 I've ever worked on, so I'm starting to 2nd guess myself on little things.

Such as, should the dowl pins be on the front of the block? I noticed that these are placed on the rear. Witch got me to start thinking, maybe thats why it leaks in the back?

No the oem light is the 'your ---- is now fucked up' light not going to tell you there is less than 70psi or whatever it takes to engage vtec.

I have the same issue, though I replaced my cam seals and it went away for a while but now it's back and my cam seals are not leaking. Just fill the bitch with RTV and see what happens.
