Cheap Quality.: Motor Parts

Terrible quality. As you can see in the photo, a piece of metal broke off, destroying the seal. It is unclear where the broken piece went. God forbid the engine does not get. I will never buy parts from this brand again.

Pros
  • While the Honda VTEC Solenoid remains a reliable component, it does not last forever. Thick, dirty, or viscous oil can clog the phaser or solenoid. This is the main cause of these parts getting stuck. Thin oil can also cause premature wear of moving parts. An electronic solenoid can also fail if one of its wirings burns out. Replacing the VTEC solenoid is much easier and can be performed by an experienced technician.
Cons
  • Not everything fits
