I am finishing up my mini-me, and I have problems with the vtec switch. It is pouring out oil from the joint between the soleniod unit and the oil pressure unit. I pulled it apart, and there is no gasket. Should there be? I got the head used, so who knows... I ended up breaking a bolt in the switch trying to bolt it down tighter too. Any ideas on how to get it out?

I can post photos if needed.

Thanks!

yes you should have a gasket there so oil wont seep out.... and the bolt im not to sure of how to get out (that sucks by the way)..... and in the future you always have to remember SNUG is GOOD.... i learned that the hard way when bolting on my valve cover... i thought it needed to be more tight then snap busted the bolt and a piece was stuck in the block..... good luck!!!!

 

Thanks, I better get that gasket. Looking online, I think it is the gasket between the oil pressure unit (bolted to the head, w/ green double elect.) and the vtec solenoid, (bolted to the pressure unit, w/ black single elect.) Is this correct?

The bolt is a new challenge...
