the OEM have one or two O-rings (i can't remember)and are plastic. The aftermarket ones have an additional O-ring and are made of billet aluminum. They add a bit of bling but they're all the same when it comes down to it, plus the VTEC solenoid covers it, so i'd just get what is cheapest.

I got mine from Robear Racing for $15 shipped.

yea but the Password JDM (which is the same) is 25 plus shipping last time i checked. Robear is still cheaper. You could get an OEM one, i thought mine leaked, but it didn't. It had 230k miles on it and hadn't leaked yet, so OEM is not that bad anyways.

Otherwise keep shopping around i guess.

just get it they're all the same when it boils down to it. Make sure to use HondaBond on it to avoid any oil leakage.

Is this really a f*ckun issue.

It's a hunk of aluminum that is turned in a lathe. They are all the same ****.

And OEM sucks. Aftermarket would last longer, plus if it ever does go out you just need some o-rings.


I use a golden eagle one, BLACK, TURNED BACKWARDS. Logo's are gay. (oh no, I said gay, I guess I'm gonna get banned )
