ok just got my d15b vtec swap workin,
but the eacv it came with seems to be leaking a shitload of coolant.

does anyone have any advice on how to fix this??
not even sure exactly where on the valve its leaking,
didnt even know they COULD leak!

most of the other sensors on the IM were broken.. which is a clue,
but visually the EACV looks fine.

i need to fix this cuz it leaks enough coolant to cause overheating issues.

thanks.

heh, nevermind,
i fixed it myself

took the eacv off and dismantled it,
turns out the metal plate on the bottom(that has the two nipples for the coolant hoses) was bent,
letting coolant leak out.

tried bending it back, the metal was too tough,
so what I did was I took out the gasket, cleaned it and its mounting surface,
then I stuck a rubber band in there, and put the original gasket over it! Painted some clean engine oil on it, and bolted everything back together,
sealed it up real nice!
