this guys has a good point
It has a p28 ecu and I mean it starts and runs fine there is a feint ticking sound between 3000 and 34000 rpm but I don't think it's nternal
the p28 is a vtec ecu so. Your vtec solenoid could be bad. um your oil could be low. dont have vtec cams. Um thats all i thank of for the vtec not working. to see if it in working order? check comprion check all fluids. the ticking sound could be your valves ticking. but it also could be the bottom end to
If you have a vtec head you must have vtec cam's because the non vtec ones won't fit in that head.
Okay so compression check and prolly valve adjustment and tune up ... Anyone k kw the compression an lsvtec should read? And also and this is gonna sound gay but I noticed a button zipped tied to the shift knob so I curiously traced where th wire ran to and guess where it went ? Vtec solenoid lol i don know if that's a good or bad thing that I prolly know why vex isn't working but that the dude obviously didn't know anything and the whole setup might be half ass.... I've also read that lsvtecs require you to drill the block for a vtec oil passage way idk it this was done ... I think I may have wasted my money 
Maybe that button was for push button VTEC! thatd be kinda cool
Get rid of that button
maybe the vtec is not wired up?
ill look into it maybe dude didnt drill out the vtec oil passageway im not sure yet
If that was not done then you wont get any oil to the cylinder head. It would result in catastrophic engine failure.
maybe he ran a sandwich plate and plugged the hole in the bottom of the head?
