Default vtec solenoid question

I read that all vtec solenoids were interchangeable. Can anyone verify that? Thanx

I have a vtec solenoid and there is no markings for a prt#. Is there anyway to identify the part # by looking at the actual part?

no but you can tell what head it will go to, the y8 and z6 look very different. Not sure but i think all b series ones will interchange... dont quote me on that one

NO THEY ARE NOT ALL INTERCHANGEABLE. H-series ahve a diffrent bolt pattern. Y8s have a different bolt pattern. Bseries and z6 are interchangeable. not all solenoids.
