VTEC Solenoid/Spool Valve Filter and Valve Cover |
|
|
|
Found a leak in the VTEC Solenoid/Spool valve of our B16A EF. Removed and replaced the gasket. After repair the engine response improved. Valve cover was being planned for a replacement. Instead I decided to repaint it and just save the money for a bigger intake manifold. I used 2 cans of spray-on paint stripper and a can of blue paint with ceramic. |
