The head is plugged, it has been an LS Vtec motor for some time now. It used to work. Yeah the metal shavings are from when I had my old block when I spun a rod bearing, they're leftovers I guess.

maybe some of those metal shaving works there way into the oil passages for vtec?

Default LS Oil Pump Good for Vtec?

On an LS Vtec motor is an LS oil pump good enough to activate the vtec? I mean does it push out enough pressure?

Get a new selonoid. It might be burnt out. Just take a 12 volts power and tough the wires to see if you can here anything clicking on. The the selonid doesn't click on then its broke. Find a new one.

so you say you can trigger vtec w/ a 12v source?
