Default vtec solenoid??

what does the vtec solenoid do, i know without it vtec would not kick in but why is that, also the head i am buying does not include the vtec solenoid, so where can i buy a solenoid?

If I am not wrong, they solenoid engages the vtec cam locker thingy. Very technical I know. Look HERE. That will explain it.

vtec solenoids are pretty pricey, so unless the head is like 50 bucks it's not worth it.

Are you buying a head that is supost to have vtec but doesn't have the solenoid with it or are you buying a non-vtec head and trying to put a solenoid on it?

not as fast or reliable, but still EVERYTHING i've ever ordered for my car (even my body kit) has been though a money order,they're not that bad. (sorry i dont have more info about the solenoid though [&:])

If that last one comes with the solenoid, get it.

What is that other dude thinking? He is never gonna get $320 for a z6 head.
