Dorman917-268 Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid Gasket Compatible with Select Honda Models

Replaced them on my 2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L. Going strong after 25k miles.

Install was easy to complete. Recommend to swat this part while diagnosing VCM related issues. Cheap piece of mind.

Product is identical, old part was brittle, fell apart, and was cause of my oil leak... it cleared the remaining VSA/ triangle exclamation mark combo code as well as the P2646 error code on my 2007 Odyssey. Dealership wanted $163 just to sell my the part, so thankful for Amazon, works as well as OEM here so far. I also bought the rocker oil pressure sensor ($13 Amazon) as well and cleaned all the parts out before reassembling with this new sensor. No more engine shutter, stall outs, and I have a lot more power now. Thank you!

I had a 2006 Pilot 2WD that was leaking a ton of oil. The mechanic told me the VTEC solenoid gasket leaking. I ended up replacing it myself because I would have had to wait a week for him to do it. Took me about 30 mins to take the valve out, I then cleaned it and replaced the gaskets. Make sure you replace BOTH gaskets. Apparently these gaskets are known to go bad. If you have a VTEC engine, it might make sense to automatically replace them once you reach 100K. Mine got changed at around 200K, although I've probably had a a small oil leak for the past 50K, think the mechanics simply missed it. At 150K, they replaced the valve cover gasket which I was was told was causing the leak. After replacing it, the car still had a very slow leak. I think even back then the VVT Solenoid Gasket was also leaking. It just got worse, bad to the point where oil was pouring out.If you own a 1st Generation Honda Pilot (2003 – 2008), which is a very reliable car (if you maintain it), I suggest every 100k you automatically replace the following gaskets: 1) the VVT Solenoid Gaskets, 2) the oil filter housing gasket gasket, 3) the valve cover gasket. They will eventually leak oil, but the good news is that the gaskets are fairly cheap and they aren't that complicated to replace. If you do that, you'll eliminate the hassle of having to deal with oil leaks. They're all made out of rubber and eventually, the heat from the engine will destroy them.

Fixed a nuisance oil leak, not too difficult a job. It did take a while for all of the accumulated oil from the leak on engine and transmission to go away.

Worked out great. Solved that dang pesky oil leak

All you need to repair a VTech spool valve leak.

Stopped the leak
