i have posted a picture of a valve open, but its the only one open, and was wondering if that means it was stuck or if thats normal.

Is the camshaft installed? Are the springs installed?

 

everything installed, camshaft and springs.

 

When you turn the camshaft, the 4 valves on each cylinder should open and close as pairs (both intake valves should open and close together). The pairs should open and close one time for every (one or two) turns of the camshaft.

When you find the valve that is not moving properly, you will have to inspect the spring, cam lobe, etc... to figure out what is wrong.

 

Swell. Lol. Can't see the pic but I will say this. If everything still together its possible that's the way it should be. Rotate the cam and see if it moves with the cam lobe. If it stays out during the whole revolution you gotta bent valve.

 

Is it vtec? They will move only one all the way till its actuated by oil pressure

 

yes its vtec and i will give it a shot at rotating here in a few, i will let u know what happens

 

ok thank you guys, the valves moved while rotating, i wasnt sure if i should have rotated the cam so thank you for giving me the ok to do so lol
