Vtec solenoid, is yours rusting too?
Seems like the coating on mine scratched off or something.

Re: (P1mpSlap)
I wasn't going to but it's so easy...
-pop off the three bolts on top.
-sand by hand (it's really easy)
-take a full sheet of papertowel and make a small slit in it
-slide solenoid top through slit
-do a couple light coats

I figure it's cheaper than dropping $10 for a Vtec solenoid cover that only masks the problem.
Tweak, who's tired of shitty bolts, and replaces them whenever they start to go...
