there is leaks on my vtec solenoid...wat gasket to use?

 

gasket on the head or on the top near the solenoid?

 

no one knows? the top one

 

ive read that theres no USDM replacement.

honda bond.!

hth

 

You can make a gasket easily with gasket material, it's available at any auto parts store. all you have to do is cut out the shape. It's not that hard.

 

has anyone tried making one? the gasket seems to be specially made...who here made one and have no problem with it...

 

i jsut picked up new gaskets for mine. i got the gasket for the 99 civic si. havent installed them yet but should work. ill keep you posted might put them in tomorrow

 

did it work? any more opinions?

 

no more answers? i guess its just honda bond....

 

I have the same problem mine is also leaking, I just went down to Honda yesterday and ordered the gasket but now that I've read up on it im not so sure if its even the right one

 

I bought the ones for the 94 Del Sol Vtec. There are two of them (top and bottom) went in perfect. No more leaks.

 

thats weird, the gasket from my 99 si was the same as the gasket on my 91 jdm b16a

i think its a myth that it wont work.

Same here.. i used a lil hondabond because of what i read about it not working, but has not leaked since...

I just got my b16a1 the other day and I noticed its leaking around the solenoid.. any final words on which gasket? delsol or 99civic si?

 

Someone know if the Del SOl gasket and the Civic SI 99-00 had the same part number for this gasket?

 

Yes they are the same part.
The Del Sol part # 36172-P08-015. The '99 SI part # is 15825-P08-005.

 

i just got the del sol one and it didnt fit so i took it back to honda today and they are getting me one off the ex vtec i dont remember what year though.

they don't care, it's just a job to them, they're not enthusiasts like we are.

 

hahah everybody is getting the wrong one, I just hope that this time around i get the right one.
