How to Replace a Honda VTEC Solenoid Gasket

- 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.

And NO MUSIC blasting ! Great Video.
You are the go to guy when it comes to Honda Accord repair videos. Appreciative as always!!!
Thanks, I had one 2 years ago with all the common problems so I did this little series to help you all
316K+ miles. Good job!

@@StealthyyyHD nice job! 👍👍
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.
Such a common thing on Honda's to leak!
Yeah remove the strut bar ( it tucks under the windshield cowl SMH)
@@speedkar99 since it looked impossible to replace the oil cooler hoses I did everything under the car with the subframe out.
Best video with extra details 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Thanks glad it helped
Thanks for the information, your video is very well done and helpful.
+luke lewis glad it helped
Is it possible to get to those bolts and remove the V-Tech solenoid from the top? So you don’t have to remove the oil filter.
Yes but the strut bar makes it akward
So what do I do if I snap off that wire directly under the solenoid? The one with the big rubber cover
RIP
Solder it
Hello. I got an 02 rsx base model. I'm having oil leak by the oil filter. From what I can see I have oil all over the filet an around that area as well as the braces found around that area. Should it be safe to say that my gadget went bad?
+Will Chavez First degrease the engine and clean everything. Then you can more acuratly point out where the leak is coming from. The vtc valve sometimes leaks as does the timing chain and valve cover in that area
Do you recommended aftermarket or OEM? Thanks 🙏
Try the aftermarket with a warranty. At least it's not difficult to replace if it fails again
Bought the gasket for $9.50 from the dealership, they quoted me $150 to do the job. Was able to do the job from the top without having to get under the car, all under an hour. No leaks, Fixed!
Well done
I had to replace the whole solenoid 120$ 10 minutes of work pull 3 bolts, replace, torque to spec.
I have the same problem. The part was 16 bucks, I'm not to sure if I can do it tho
There is a video for the solenoid gasket and vvt solenoid out there i just ended up replacing the whole thing because the previous one was way over torqued it ended up leaking through the bolt holes from the plate being crushed
How did you do that? I just couldn't see it. Any tips would be appreciated. Local Mechanic quoted $1497 plus tax. I don't think he wanted to do it.
This guy is an amazing tech and communicator and videographer. Nice work.
+Gene Peters thanks, that's my style :)
i bought the gasket yeaterday. maybe 2morro ill replace. but i just did oil change sp imma try to get it without removing oil filter lol.
@@speedkar99 I agree with Gene Peters. Very good job. Were do you get the torque specifications?
you probably dont give a damn but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Kyson Jamal Instablaster ;)
Now to find my 10mm socket...
It's gone
No one can ever find those!
the should sell them 10 in a box
I dont know how many I've lost already.
AutoZone sells a pack of 10 mm sockets now
Came here from Reddit. Was not disappointed. Great video!
I'm just glad I now know how to replace a gasket on a vtec engine. Now I need a Honda.
Me too I'm not even old enough to own a car
Now I need to get myself a leaky Honda
Glad it helped!
Hey they are all too common
It's a good idea to put a light coat of clean engine oil on these oil seals before installing it back on the vehicle.
+Big Dog50001 Thanks for the tip
Big Dog50001 Automotive i dont know anything about cars but i think i have this same oil leak problem, th-cam.com/video/PH26wbDGdtY/w-d-xo.html theres a video i was hopeing anybody who knows anything about cars could have a look Nd tell me.what they think, definate leak you can see it has spluttered all over the place
ANY advice or help would be massively appreciated, going to book it at Honda monday but until then im.worried sick about it....
Eduardo León Morales took it to Honda, they resealed the timing case cover
@@speedkar99 Hey thanks for the video. I have a question I am wondering would it be the same process same case on a 2006 Acura csx 2.0L v-tech? As far as I can find out mine is only leaking on the sensor ring.
These are the kind of videos that I like, informative, straight forward, no auditioning in front of the camera, for that you get a thumbs up and I'm now a subscriber.
Thanks. Short and to the point is how it should be
Pretty certain this is the cause of my oil leak. Glad I found this before taking it into a shop, as this looks like something I can do myself. Thanks for the upload.
Glad it helped
After you replaced gasket and drive car did leak residue oil ?? I just replaced mine and after getting home I checked for leaks after I parked and there was a couple drops
Bro, these gaskets get clogged so easily. I'm on my second one.
They leak too much
Came here from reddit, very nice video, but I do not even own a car
Don't even own a car? what are you? Why are you here? maybe go buy a car instead of bumming rides all the time Jesus
Thank you so much for sharing the torque specs 104 in/lbs!
I wish everybody was thorough like you!
+limplin7 Thanks, the torque specs are critical on all gasket surfaces for a proper seal

Thank you I was hoping those were in here
Most people replace this from the top - no need to remove the oil filter - if you are going trough all this trouble just install a new V-tech. !!!! No just that gasket. !!!!
There’s only one screw I see not three
Thanks for the video! 2003 CRV. I used a mirror to see the back of the block. Did everything from above. Did not have to remove the oil filter. My gasket stuck to the block. super easy. Great video.
Yep, it's not hard from the top if the strut bar is out of the way.
Exactly what I am about to try,...working from above. Glad to know someone tried it and was successful.
I was thinking to do the same, but wasn't sure. Thanks for verifying!
Hi
2.4 2007 accord 170.000 miles
This sets off the code p2646 ???
Engine light popped on and car began to sputter, then drives again
Idles fine
Load on engine starts the incremental drastic hesitation every 15 minutes or so for last few days
No oil drips!!!
I also changed the throttle position sensor bolted to passenger side fire wall with that cable connection
🆘🆘🆘🆘
Wish I had found your channel sooner. Replaced VTEC entire unit, $234 CAD ,with 2 hrs for labour so it was a sizable bill.

I did this to my Element and Accord K24 engines a few years ago, thanks to another video. 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!!
I did this on my 2010 Acura TSX and the procedure was mostly the same. 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!!
Agreed the strut brace is always in the way
Great video. Didn't have to skip once to get to any points. Good pace. As a side note, using OEM Honda oil filters (or probably any high quality filter) will prevent that screen from clogging. Avoid cheap quick lube filters and oil in the Hondas.
They always use filter brands that no one has ever heard of. They probably cost them 2 bucks at most.
You are absolutely right, I use Castrol Edge with Baldwin B1402 filters and still running strong with 239k hoping to get another 25k before I bust into timing chain job. I did have to change leaking vtec gaskets front and rear but the screens looked good.
Awesome video! Very straight forward.
+Chase Huddleston thanks
Thank you managed to fix watching this. If you lie over the engine, you don’t need to remove oil filter. The bolts are accessible with a 10mm socket. I needed a mirror and led light to do this.
Hi, is this related to p2646 (a rocker arm actuator system performance or stuck off bank 1)? Thanks in advance!!
Did you ever figure this out? As I understand, that particular code can be triggered by a failing oil pressure switch sensor ( (PN 37250-PNE-G01) . Also...make sure you ain't low on oil!
ianjuarez30 that’s the exact code and description on mine. What’d you end up doing to get it fixed?
Just got that same code for my k20z3, ordered a new solenoid I'll update to see if that fixes it. Also no my oil wasn't low
@@emmanuelguerrero3751 any updates?
@@Buzzed_Highlights UPDATE: Got the part I needed, come to find out the people at AutoZone were confusing the vtec solenoid for the vtc Solenoid. So I went back watched some videos on how to replace the vtc Solenoid. This video goes step by step on how to replace it Link: th-cam.com/video/YYKikGysXqE/w-d-xo.html it was a bitch to take out the 12mm bolt you can't see by the pulley (you'll know what I'm talking about if you do it) also when you put the new solenoid in there's a bolt that holds it in place. Once again a total bitch to put in because you can't see where it's going and there's a specific piece on the solenoid the bolt has to go through before you could thread it in. Other than that pretty easy. Drove about 70 miles CEL hasn't returned. Hit VTEC twice and all good so far. Also thanks for reminding me, I was going to post it earlier today but totally slipped my mind.
Damn, 316K on your car? Well maintained K24 engines can definitely last a long time!
+Jason Harris yes these engines are pretty strong
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.
Are you sure 60M?
That is almost the length of a football field
thanks for the video thanks to you I was able to take mine off and replace the very worn out gasket. I had looked all over trying to find the start of the drip. Had a nice size split in the gasket. Thanks
+khemet05 Glad you got your car fixed and liked the video
Thank you so much,replaced the VTEC solenoid on my 07 Accord today and this video helped tremendously!!!!!
Thanks for this video, it helped me a ton. And thanks for mentioning the torque. Too many other videos never mention the torque specs.
Torque is important on gasket surfaces
Just a heads up that the bolts are not heavy duty and can snap off! I know why one of the three was missing now, snapped one off inside the cover. The other one I could not get out, and that looks like a good thing at the moment.
Yes these bolts are made of cheese
This is great, the only thing is aren’t you supposed to put a light coating of oil around the new gasket before installing? Thanks for the video!
Yes that would help
I have replaced the vtec solenoid 3 times in my 2004 Element. At this point I'm ready to do it myself.
+Heather McSparen why so many times?
Me too :(
Same also.for me but mine kept getting water in the connections from me washing the engine on the 2.4l 2003 accord the si has the 2.0l with a shield to keep it dry. it was a design flaw on the 2.4l to collect water.
@@adamwoltz2228 Happens when you use water to clean your engine... They sell engine cleaners for that. Of course its gonna collect water if you hose your engine down🤦♂️
This is, hands down, the best producer of auto repair you tubers. So freakin concise. Thanks for not wasting a second of my time. I’ve been complaining for years. Liking and subscribing. You earned it.
I'm glad you appreciate my work! Thanks
Do you have a video on how to remove the other solenoid you pointed to on the schematic?
Yes the VTC solenoid video
What is the name of the blue “plug” under the VTEC solenoid ?
It's the oil pressure sensor
Fuck. I would've done this myself instead of paying $350 for it but i cant lift the car up
+Mason Clark you could access it from the top, I chose the bottom because it was easier to film this video
I've got 2006 odyssey australian model can't even get hand down back of engine from the top to get access to this part.
Yeah V6 is alot harder to work on.
unscrew them is a pain in the arse!!!
Is it absolutely necessary to remove the oil filter and go underneath the car to do this? seems like there's plenty of room back there to do it right under the hood. Btw my 04 accord isn't leaking, it's just in limp mode (won't go past 3k rpm)
+Jordan Calon Not necesary, I removed it so you get a better view on camera.
Jordan Calon You can access this part from the top if you want. It's a little awkward but you don't have to jack up the car.
I'm trying to get it from the top and am having the worst time getting the bottom bolt.
@@SingingSabre Same here. I think it's absolutely necessary to do this job from underneath because those 3 bolts need really snug socket grip to be opened. I almost rounded up the bottom 10mm bolt. I think he should add a note in the comment section to recommend drain engine oil, take out oil filter to provide easy access to those bolts. Another tip: Instead of breaking white wire clips attaching iVTEC to its bracket, there is another 10mm bolt that can easily be opened using a vise grip holding bracket and a 10mm wrench. That will give a better chance to use a flat head screw drive to remove electrical connectors which tend to break if you apply too much force disconnecting.
How you found out why you can't go past 3000 rpm? My base rsx is having the same problem can't go past 3k rpms in any gears
Thank you. I finally figured out why smell is coming in when vtec kicks in. When I jacked up my car and was looking bottom area that I found that there was engine oil drops around Vtec solenoid. After watched urs few times, I replace it successfully and no smell at all. Thank you again. ☺️
+SeungJoon Hyun Glad my video helped!
Hi, Can the same method’s be used for a 2008 Honda Accord Coupe V6 engine?
hii ,i have already changed the gasket twice, but there`s still oil leak....whats the solution pls
Did you use a torque wrench?
You Should Have Changed The Oil & Filter Anyway...
I never changed the oil and filter in my ownership of this Accord 😱
316k on that engine. Honda's run forever. The only brand I buy
Yep. The engines are strong.
Transmission...not so much haha
Great video .i just did the same replacment for my accord and l can recommend anyone who needs to do same job that it is also quite easy to remove Selenoid from upperside of the engine and you dont have to jack the car up and remove oil filter.
Good tip. I preferred getting at it from the bottom. To each is own. Removing the oil filter was only necessary to make this video so you can see what I'm unscrewing.
l got it !Thanks a lot ,l would not be able to change easily unless l watch your video.You inspire many of us around the world ,Loves from Turkey :).
+Asim Ustun thanks I'm glad you enjoy my videos.
Asim Ustun did u have any spills when doing the job from the upperside? I've got a check engine light that comes and goes but the code was for the solenoid. been meaning to change it so I'm just curious if I need to put a rag or shop towels underneath
KOU IZZLE Hello,Dont worry about it. it doesnt spill out that much when you loosen all the bolts (3 bolts) and while removing it you can wipe away the oil spills with the rag at the moment.
Another great video! I’ve seen the screen filter of VTEC solenoids with lots of debris/dirt. If the oil and filter are regularly changed every 5000 miles, what else could causing the dirt/debris?
I have the same question !!! You install a good oil filter $ 9-11 dollars and still leaving debris around the engine. ?????
I hate the k series engines everything is so fucking tucked away on b and d series it’s all on top of the car and 10x faster
Good point. This is in a tight spot
One of the best videos on this topic so far. Detailed and to the point. Thank you!

Sounds like an issue
The right spec torque for the 10m bolts is 7.2 foot pound
Thanks for that
Forget about the filter - gasket. !! If you are going through all this trouble - replace the whole solenoid ( $ 60 dollars ) Nice job in just under 5 minutes !!! Yeah right. !! I just replace mine today. !!!!!
Great video. Looks easier to take it off from underneath.
To each their own. The strut bar hinders access
Great video. But before installing the new gasket, it is better to wet the gasket with oil to avoid damages and increase lifetime.
You can get all the bolts from the top without taking off the oil filter... Just saying.
Can this solenoid be the culprit thats making my 05 rsx go into limp mode it wont rev past 4k sometimes
Andy Q my 04 civic ex does the same thing. I’m more than likely gonna have to replace the whole thing and not just the gasket
My 2005 Accord was throwing code P2647 only, I didn't notice an oil leak. I replaced the entire VTEC solenoid assembly, but now it's throwing code P2646 only. Has anyone ever seen this before?
Thank you sir did what you demonstrated and 👍
Very welcome
Hey so I bought a 2004 element with 87k for 5500 i test drove it work good but I didn't try the heat ac was ok so I brought it home from ny to pa but did a pit stop in nj shell station route 206 then it sat for a week. Next time I start it the heat didn't work onlet hose to heater core was hot the other room temperature shortly after the engine start to shake like crazy the send code misfire p0300, p0301 n p0302 and later it did say misfire on all 4 cylinder I install new plugs I swap one coil pack for new but befor that when I disconnected each coil pace at a time the engine did rev up some thinking it not coil pack. Now I'm thinking it might be bad gas as I was very low on gas when I did a complete fill up but it drove like 40 miles good any suggest help plz tnks

Question: Are the three bolts interchangeable? in other words : Do I have to return each bolt to the same hole it came out of?
+Hamad Alganis if they're the same length its fine
I checked with Honda dealer, they're the same part number.
I just replaced the whole spool valve and got a new gasket since these vtec sensors love to fail just like the starters.
Yea it's a typical Honda K series thing
Thanks for such an informative and detailed video. My Honda dealer found a leak on my 06 Accord and is asking for $180 to replace VTEC solenoid gasket. I am going to do it myself. Did you have to disconnect ground battery terminal wire before replacement to avoid any electrical shorting?
I didn't disconnect the battery...just to clear the code
Hey what is that sensor called under the vtec solenoid with the blue mushroom covered I snapped the housing on mine need to replace but don't know what it is called
That is your oil pressure sender. Part # S4270P @ O'reilly's Auto parts.
I don’t have that tool to see how tight to make the bolt and mine is still leaking and leaking worse make sure you get it right on there
But now I know it was that part and can fix it just need to tighten it
You definitely should use a torque wrench
My top bolt rounded off I’ll have to see if I can reach from underneath I only have ramps
same :/. I. ordered a bolt extracto, I may need to heat it up with a torch and use some Pb blaster to remove it.
Same 😂
two amusing parts of the video that made me smile:

U don't have to remove the oil filter for that homie
Yeah but it makes it easier
thank you, awesome instructions. Managed to do without removing oil filter on crv 2007. But I've lost some oil almost halfway from Max to min when the solenoid was removed, should I top-up or still ok to leave as is till next service (4 months away)?

True
I replaced the crank pulley seal because it was leaking, and was getting on the cv shaft and some pulleys, but still leaking and it’s dripping right on top of the o2 sensor harness, will take care of this gasket next
Thank you so much for this video. I'm doing this on my 2013 si this weekend haha! My speedometer stopped working as well. Got a video on that? 🤣
Wonderful video one of the best... he actually was amazing in every aspect of the video ... got the problem gave the solution 10/10
Thanks!
Great video! Got two of the three bolts off but one dang bolt is rounded out and I just cannot get a grip on it to remove it so I gave up. Looking for a small 10mm socket that will actually remove that rounded out single bolt!
Hello ! I did this about 1 year ago and I want to share my weird oil leak yesterday I found oil leak from the Vtec solenoid. Not from the Oil pressure sensor , not from the B or 8 shaped gasket as well. Oil leak is from between the body and the head(solenoid). I opened two E8 bolts and applied a little of very thin layer of RTV around the O ring. Unfortunately, the O-ring is not available.
Check the dealership?
speedkar99 no ,but i checked with local car parts store that they told me the O ring which is attached on the solenoid head isnt available. Hope some of you have issue like me this will help :)
By any chance do you know the part thats numbered 10 and 11 on the diagram? Great video man!
Was the car in limp mode and check engine light was blinking??? I ask because my cars in limp mode and doesnt go pass 25 30mph.
I bought the whole thing, was very inexpensive compared to each part that could be possible cause. Liked your video easy peasy.
Nice video. Did you have to remove anything from the bottom of the vehicle to get to it besides the oil filter? I’m having a difficult time remove 1 of the 3 bolts and working from the top of the engine.
I swear, I worked 15 min on the car, and then it suddenly started raining torrentially for 5 min and stopped.
Worked 10 min on the car and then it started again... I give up, it stops but I'm not going back.
Well, to my obvious anger, it's not raining anymore, but I know it's just baiting me!
Imma start next day, welp.
Hello ,so can this be the reason my honda accord 2004 on high speed about to switch gear it jerk and can't even run faster
Hi if the vtec solonoid leaks, does it mean the vtec will not engage?
+luke gnanapragasam yes if its leaking really badly and can't build enough pressure
Poor application of a resilient seal by Honda! This should be a compression gasket. This kind is only useful for a water pump maybe. But I digress. We’re all talking about 12+ year old cars with way over 150K miles. Thanks for this very informative video.
You are welcome
