Thanks Billman.

I think the manufacturer will need the housing too.

Going to send dimensions to an orings manufacturer and see if they can make them.

If so I will post an interest thread.

I've had this leak for weeks, it's very slight.

The general consensus is either buy a completely new VTEC solenoid or use Hondabond and hope it fixes it. You cannot buy the gasket separately.

DO NOT use honda bond to make a new gasket...there has been speculation as to this method clogging up oil passages in the head and toasting the top end
Let me reiterate this, DO NOT use any type of silicone or gasket maker material there. Shortly after using some silicone on mine, my camshafts nearly welded themselves to the cam towers.

I have the manufacturing drawing for the o-ring. I was going to have them made, but I did not get enough interest to justify the setup fees.

I was going to draw up a diagram, just like I used to for many years in the machining business.

I am currently talking to a manufacturer I used to deal with.

SouthDakotaS2K, do you feel your diagram will help or speed process?

I plan on going ahead with this as the need is starting to arise with my business.
