I had code 21. Did search and people said I should first check my oil level & then my vtec solenoid to see if the filter is dirty.

I took off the vtec solenoid and it had the rubber O-ring but no "wire screen filter".... is this bad or good?

I honestly don't thinks it's a bad idea but is only in placed ad added protection just in case I had some junk or debire in the oil.




Any thoughts?

 

you should have one. if not debre probably got in their and messed up the solyn.

 

i Heard some dont. idk if you can just put the screen version on or not.

is the gasket the same for all dohc vtec (b17, B16, B18c1, B18c5) ?
part # ?
