Sounds like your in need of valve adjustments. Or timeing is off. But chances are it's valves.

Check the oil level, make sure its not low.
Mine was acting up a few months back so I pulled the v-tech assembly off the motor pulled it all apart cleaned it up and went to Honda a got all new orings and put it back together, that fixed my problem.
You could see when I took it all apart that oil pressure was being lost between the orings. The original orings had gotten brittle and shrank up from age and the heat.

Oops I spelled it v-tech too, thats what happens when your trying to do work and type at the same time.
To answer your question the V-TEC assembly is on the passengers side front corner of the head just below the valvecover.
