Re: Best place to buy Vtec solenoid gaket?
I looked around for a while online (non-Honda sites), no luck. Went to many different auto part stores, no luck. I think Honda is the only one that makes them.

That diagram lists part #12 as a "FILTER ASSY., SPOOL VALVE". The picture in the diagram looks correct, but the description doesn't sound right.
Is it common to develop a smallish oil leak right around this gasket? Nothing major, but its enough of a leak to make things messy I don't wipe the area down periodically.

It may not sound like the right part, but it is. The the VTEC solenoid > head seal has a metal "filter" screen to prevent debris from getting into the valve area.
This gasket gets brittle with age and can start to leak. I had to replace it on my B16A, it wasn't hard to do.
