VTEC Solenoid top half gasket
#132
I purchased one, it was delivered in less than 2 days, and took 5 minutes to install. I probably have 2 weeks of driving on it and one track day. I'm so so so so glad to say that all oil leaks on that side of the engine are 100% gone.
Thanks Ballade!

What's the PN if it's OEM?

I feel like this is an obvious answer. He has a purpose to his show. He probably bought the entire assembly, which comes with that gasket in it's OEM packaging. The point of this part of the clip isn't to just "replace the whole thing," but to show what was wrong, fix it, and move on. Even though we can't replace that gasket as easily, he's just making the education point with no regard to the parts availability from Honda. Which is totally fine. That whole assembly is peanuts to him though, whereas for a lot of us, it would make us cringe paying for it.

Edd said "it's simply a £20 (twenty pound) replacement...[of seals and gaskets]". That's about $30. The same price as the nice Ballade gasket. Coincidence?

Yeah, that's what I initially thought. But then rewatching the video, I noticed he pulls two gaskets out of the same plastic bag. I think the AftMar part we can buy only has one gasket in the bag. IDK.

He took both a VTEC-to-block gasket AND a upper VTEC gasket out of the same bag. Interesting....
And the soft top on the car needs Modifry straps
