How to Replace a Honda VTEC Solenoid Gasket

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Here's how to replace a leaking or clogged VTEC solenoid and gasket on the 2.4L 4 cylinder K24 engine.
Leaking a leaking VTEC gasket or clogged/malfunctioning VTEC actuator are a common problem on older Honda's. The VTEC solenoid mounts to the engine head, and allows the flow of oil into small passages that change the camshaft profiles, causing the engine to perform faster.
This is not to be confused with the VTC solenoid, which advances or retards the variable valve timing gear to change engine timing. A video on VTC solenoid replacement can be found here:
• P1009 Honda VTC Valve ...
If your Honda is leaking oil down the passenger side of the engine, the most probable cause is a leaking VTEC solenoid. Oil will drip from the top, down over the oil filter and the side of the drain pan, and in some cases onto the subframe. Significant oil loss can be observed, along with a P1259 VTEC malfunction code.
This tutorial demonstrates how to replace the VTEC solenoid and gasket. The gasket itself has a strainer that can sometimes get clogged. This procedure will be applicable to the Acura TSX, Honda Accord, Honda CR-V and Element.
Three 10mm bolts secure the VTEC solenoid to the back of the engine, toward the firewall. It can be accessed from both the top or bottom of the engine. Have a catch pan ready to drain access oil once the bolts are removed. The oil pressure switch is also part of the solenoid assembly.
Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly, before reinstalling the gasket dry. Torque the three 10mm bolts to 104 in-lb. Top off the engine oil and start the vehicle. Once the engine is warm, check for leaks.

The gasket was good in both engines with well over 100K miles which I attribute to frequent oil changes with premium full synthetic oil. The job was easy in both cars. Removing the oil filter for access makes it even easier. Thanks for this!!

The screws were oriented differently (pointing horizontally instead of vertically) so I was able to do the entire job from the top, no need to jack the car up and go underneath. On my model at least, I recommend removing the frame brace/strut bar, it makes it 100x easier to move around. Thank you!!

    Nice job, it can all be done from the top I use a very long screwdriver to close the two prong clips that hold the wiring harness on the shield. On the front one right wheel side remove the valve to make it easier to get at the clip. About the only other thing I will add is cut two long studs to align the valve install the valve over the two studs install one bolt remove one stud at a time and add that bolt. You will need a mirror and good lighting... The studs are 6MM X 60MM X 1.0 are 60M (2.5") Cut 60M anything under 55M is going to be a tad short.

    Was going to wait reinstalling my subframe but it appears you can work on it with it installed and the strut bar removed. For 2 months I've been gathering parts for my clutch job. Ended up rebuilding my transmission for the first time, replaced everything in the drivetrain with new parts, all new lcas and engine mounts. Was about to put the subframe on yesterday and saw I had leaks from the vtec solenoid area and want to replace the oil cooler hose and oil cooler o-ring as well.
