At the switch point a solenoid is actuated that allows oil pressure from a spool valve to operate a locking pin which binds the high
RPM rocker arm to the low RPM ones.

Rocker Arm Actuator System Performance / Stuck Off Bank 1)
The high - profile camshaft lobe which normally contacts the secondary exhaust
rocker arm alone during low -
RPM engine operation is able to move both exhaust
rocker arms together which are locked as a unit.
In basic form, the single cam lobe and follower /
rocker arm of a conventional engine is replaced with a locking multi-part
rocker arm and two cam profiles: one optimized for low -
RPM stability and fuel efficiency, and the other designed to maximize high -
RPM power output.
The primary exhaust
rocker arm contacts a low - profile camshaft lobe during low -
RPM engine operation.
The term «primary» does not refer to which
rocker arm forces the valve down during low -
RPM engine operation.

When the engine is operating below 6000 - 7000
rpm (dependent on year, car, and ECU installed), the lower lobe is operating the
rocker arm and thus the valves, and the slipper - follower is freewheeling next to the
rocker arm.
Whereas traditional VTEC operation changes valve opening duration based on higher oil pressure during high
rpm operation at one side of the valvetrain's
rocker arms, the Civic's i - VTEC system can switch valve timing duration at low
rpm and low oil pressure using two hydraulic actuators on both sides of the intake
rocker arm.
From a mechanical standpoint, the three stage VTEC switching capabilities are made possible a
rocker arm design with three hydraulic circuits that accommodates a) low
rpm VTEC switching on each cylinder's intake and exhaust valve and b) high speed switching on the [intake] valve.
Titanium valves, ultra — light weight
rocker arms with a diamond — like coating and a fully integrated lower crankcase that reduces pumping losses at high
RPMs combine to provide the driver with overwhelming acceleration right up to the 9,000
rpm redline.
The VTEC portion of the system hydraulically adjusts the intake valves»
rocker arms for lift and duration to help optimize engine efficiency for low - and high -
RPM ranges.
