VTEC Seal Kit

The VTEC spool valves are another common place to leak, and leave stains on the engine, as well as the garage.  This kit reseals the VTEC solenoid, oil pressure switches, as well as the oil pressure sensor.  This kit comes in 2 different year ranges, so be sure to select the proper set for your year range:
