Why can't I find a Vtec Solonoid gasket?

It's just a piece of rubber with a screen in it, I don't understand why Acura is charging $50 for one. I refuse to pay that just based on principle, I don't care how rich I am.

Anybody know a place with a more reasonable price?

On my car I just diyed it up. Bit of fly screen stuff and gasket seal. Been working fine for ages no leaks. And didnt cost a cent.

But good luck finding one, I never was able too.

Doesn't really answer my question H22DC2, but nice ride

Majin, I like the creativity, nicely done. I couldn't really dedicate that much time to makeshifting a gasket, but I'll keep that in mind in case MacGyver ever falls short of ideas.

EGsleeper, exactly what I needed.

Thanks amigos. I love this damn forum.
