Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Dorman 917-215 VVT Solenoid: Optimize Engine Performance with Select Model Compatibility by Jim Acquista

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked great for 09 G6 2.4L

Replace the inlet and outlet in the process. I used this on 09 g6 2.4 ecotec. It worked great. Part Nos. 917-215 and 917-216. Blow dust, dirt, and sand from the general area before removing anything. 10mm head for removing old, 8mm head for attaching new. Once you've got the old part out (you can rotate them back and forth 10 degrees with the channel locks by pulling them up), you bypass that area and make installing the new one more difficult without messing up. Remember. Before installing, put a few drops of engine oil on the O-ring to avoid pinching. The easiest way to determine which cable connectors are keyed is to simply match them. Do one at a time so you don't drop anything into the engine. Hand-tighten the screws to avoid confusing the threads. Only use 8-10 pounds of torque, remember the block is aluminum.

Pros
  • Weight
