I understand the concept of using the correct tool for the job. Was asking if you trust your 20$ wrench

Gaskets still look cool so I ended up ordering a brand new VTEC assembly... hopefully it wasn't a mistake.

Check-in: The OEM VTEC solenoid assembly replacement arrived from Japan and there's no leak!

Thank you everyone!
