you run that thru a hose, from a fed souce near the bottom of the block to the head...

People just don't understand how to properly build the engines and tune it according to what you have done or don't have done to it. That's the bottom line.

Find someone who is familiar with Honda's. People who have built a Chevy 350 V8 and then blindly go into building an LSVTEC or CRVTEC is gonna blow it up.

Use a vtec oil pump if you're scared.

Or do something easier, and get a golden eagle lsvtec conversion kit, with a sandwich plate that fits where the oil filter goes....the line hooks up to that..simple.
