Like riding a bike assuming you keep riding!

 

My v-tec is smooth to the point where I don't even feel it really "kick" in. Think there's a problem?
i only have 22,500 on the clock.

thanx,

i would have that ckecked ...my V-tec kicks in hard , so yeh check it

 

well i'm gonna be changing my oil soon so it shouldn't be my oil level.
think it could be the fact that one of my vacuum lines from the valve cover (the rear line) is plumbed to one end of my catch can and there's no return line from the other end of the catch can to the intake manifold? i DO have a plug that came with the catch can plugged into the manifold (because this is the way it's instructed to be installed). although i think it may have been smooth prior to my catch can install.

If you are running a synthetic (Mobil 1 or similar) that will change the character of the shift to the other lobes (much less kick). Mine was non-existent for the day or so that was what really caused my concern.

 

Yes I'm running Synthetic

VTEC check...

Do a full throttle roll on in 2nd gear, with the airbox lid off. Put your foot to the floor at 3k rpms. The VTEC kick/noise will be quite obvious

 

This was a topic on the board quite a while back, the change over seems less noticable. I have been running M-1 for well over 5 years, so I am not sure what's it's like with dino oil.
