thats a mini-me setup. frankenstein refers to b-series engines that have a non-vtec block w/ a vtec head on it.

what's hard to understand about how it goes together?

it goes together the same way you take the d15 apart (besides removing the oil jet)

Make sure to take the oil jet out like trustdestruction said. The VTEC system requires full oil pressure from the block to work. That is the only internal difference.
