Vtec solenoid gasket
I am getting ready to install a new Vtec solenoid gasket on my 00 Si. Do I need to apply any gasket sealer or similar products to this small thin gasket?

Here is the VTEC solenoid gasket (Honda calls it "Spool Valve Filter Assembly") for a '99-'00 Si, because you didn'y say what car you have.

NO gasket sealer of any kind. Make sure both surfaces are clean, then install the Spool valve gasket and put the solenoid on.

Re: Vtec solenoid gasket
the gasket is really thick... i just did it on mine.
it was $13 at honda (got a discount)
no need to use any seal. Hand tighten (25 lbs or so) it and check for leaks...

Really? So no need to use it on water pump, oil pump, valve cover gasket, spark plug seals, etc etc because the seal is there? It takes 5 sec, uber cheap, and offers added protection. If you don't do it you are retarded.
