Your motor is OHC, and has followers, not lifters, and they're in the head, not the block.

No lifters.
DOHC VTEC
Honda's VTEC system is a simple method of endowing the engine with multiple camshaft profiles optimized for low and high RPM operations. Instead of one cam lobe actuating each valve, there are two - one optimized for low RPM stability & fuel efficiency, with the other designed to maximize high RPM power output. Switching between the two cam lobes is determined by engine oil pressure, engine temperature, vehicle speed, and engine speed. As engine RPM increases, a locking pin is pushed by oil pressure to bind the high RPM cam follower for operation. From this point on, the valve opens and closes according to the high-speed profile, which opens the valve further and for a longer time. The DOHC VTEC system has high and low RPM cam lobe profiles on both the intake and exhaust valve camshafts.
The VTEC system was originally introduced as a DOHC system in the 1989 Honda Integra sold in Japan, which used a 160 hp (119 kW) variant of the B16A engine. The US market saw the first VTEC system with the introduction of the 1991 Acura NSX, which used a DOHC VTEC V6. DOHC VTEC engines soon appeared in other vehicles, such as the 1992 Acura Integra GS-R.

yes they can go right through the heads but in a intergra no get a real car something with a v8 at least . the only way the lifters could go through the block on that car is if you hit a tree

It is possible for anything pushing in a cylinder to go through a block.

Overhead cam engines, single or dual, push directly on the valve stems. There are no lifters - just the cam lobes on the camshaft.

No, they cannot possibly go through the block.
