SO I have a 94 eg coupe that i just bought friday. and the guy said he did a swap. the motor is a d15b and it has a block plate where the vtec solenoid usually is on the head, but it leaking oil all over the tranny and stuff.

Where can i get a gasket for that at?

Considering that you have full oil pressure going against that plate, you may not be able to really seal it unless you put on the vtec spool valve (solenoid) with a new spool valve "filter" (it's a complex o-ring with a mesh screen in one section of it). You could try taking the block-off plate off, clean both surfaces thoroughly & seal with HondaBond, but no guarantee. Let it sit for over 3 hours before starting the engine to allow the HondaBond to cure properly.

k. dang thats some diggin around to do. is it hard to run vtec to it? or is it plug and play?

EJeff8

It is most certainly not plug and play. You need a VTEC ECU with VTEC wire, a VTEC head, VTEC pressure switch and VTEC solenoid. I think he means just buy the solenoid and slap it on. It'll solve you're problem without tons of work in a mini me swap

EJeff8

Just use squeezable gasket. It comes in a bottle and you just squeeze a line around the braket and slap it on, it hardens as it gets hot and seals.

oh kk i see. well i found a solenoid on ebay for like $50 bux shipped.

i noticed it had 3 bolts and my plate only has 2. will that fit my d15b?

EJeff8

The solenoid will seal itself of course. It is also a good start if you want to eventually mini me swap your ride. squeezable gasket is like $~5 though.

EJeff8

there may be a third hole sitting under the bottom of the plate but I'm only familiar with D16 series engines which are three bolt solenoids.

hmmm ima have to take off that plate tomorrow after work then and see if that will fit. then ima have to order that solenoid to stop that leak then

EJeff8

...Or buy $5 squeeze gasket. If you don't plan on a swap, don't mess with bolting a solenoid on there just to hold the oil.
