Sound of VTEC disengaging...

I know alot about engines, but still new to hondas...

When I floor it and hit VTEC, then let off and the rpms drop down, I can hear a one time "click" or "tick" sound when the VTEC pins in the followers disengage.

Is this normal on a b16a2? Does anybody else know what I'm talking about?

It's not loud, but it is noticable when you listen for it.


Thanks.

Of course it's normal. If you didn't hear that noise you would be in trouble.
