99 D15B twin VTEC solenoid - oil leak problem
I have a 99 civic Si D15B. The vtec solenoid has twin solenoids and the gasket under the bolts is leaking. After I put Honda bond on it, still slowly leaks. Where can I find this gasket I have a picture but I don't know how to upload it.!

The gasket between the head and the solenoid is part number 15825-P2J-005 but it's not available in the US/Canada from what I can tell.

They're in Singapore so look for shipping to be pretty $$$

Btw, for the upper gasket that goes between the two halves you might get lucky and find that the gasket for automatic transmission lockup or shift solenoids fits.

There is no listing for the gasket, you have to buy the whole vtec solenoid, or as I said hope that gasket for a set of automatic transmission lockup solenoids works.

The dual and 3 stage are the same thing. You're going to have to google the part number he listed and pick a vendor that is outside of the US as no one is going to carry that part unless like 94EG8 said its the same as the transmission gasket.

Just take your vtec solenoid to your local dealership and ask them for the gasket you need. I had to replace my vtec solenoid gasket like three times because it kept leaking due to dumb mistakes i made. My vtec solenoid gasket was different from yours but only cost me $30 at the dealer.Also when replaceing the vtec solenoid gasket, make sure to use a little bit of sealant for a better seal and make sure you let it dry up for a day or all night so it wont leak again.

That doesn't work in this case, you can't look up that gasket at a north american dealership and even if you had the part number you couldn't order it anyway.
