My man said VTEC gooooooooo!!!!!!!!

If the stepper motor is not damaged, you may get lucky by removing the gauge cluster assembly. Unclipping the plastic bezel and "gently" bending the needle around the pin. Reconnect dash and take it for a test drive to check the needle response.

Ya you are not going to find the tachometer by it self as replacing it would take way more time than just swapping out the entire cluster which takes less than 30 minutes.

You'd have to remove the entire cluster in order to repair the tach...
may as well just swap it out.

i picked up a spare cluster for $10 at the junk yard
that's the route i would go.
