i was wondering if there was a proper procedure and time/mileage interval for cleaning the vtec solenoid on B18C1s.

that is all.

thanks.

 

Mine has been 14 years and counting. Personally I'd say if it ain't broke . . . .

 

i would like to know the answer as well.....

ive been noitcing a few times that when im driving into vtec range it does not kick in for some reason.......

anyone have any directions on cleaning it?

 

its all in your hands how often you change your oil
and how often you check the vtec solenoid filter
if there is build up just clean it up..

 

Hmm underneath my hood the guy the owned the car before sprayed clear coat all over everything, like the distributor cap, and vtec solenoid. It seems when he sprayed it though he didn't clean it off first. So theres nice layer of dust/oil or something trapped underneath the clear coat. Anyone know a way I can remove the clear coat safely off the vtec solenoid?

keep that oil cahnged and filter changed and you should be ok there should be no reason you need to clean it out. its not in the service manual saying to change or clean after so many miles

first check your oil level and pressure.

i always keep tabs on that, oil pressure is great as well...... just around 136k miles on it.
