Review on DSparts Cylinder Head Solenoid Valve Gasket for Honda - Replacement Part #15815-R70-A01 15845-R70-A01 by Brody Jacobs

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Save a lot of money and buy the gaskets that Honda won't sell you.

Even if you give your Honda dealer the part numbers of these two seals, they cannot sell them to you. Honda will not sell them in America. Rather, they want you to buy the entire VTEC control valve assembly, which currently costs $231.55 (and that doesn't include tax or labor). I bought these two pads and replaced them in my 2010 V6 Accord neighbor in about 20 minutes, saving him a bunch of bucks. They are made in China but seem to fit well except I had to straighten the built in screen a bit. Highly recommended. If you have that leak right above the dipstick and don't fix it, oil will spill into the alternator and destroy it. Do not put off solving this problem. I only gave four stars because I don't know how reliable they will prove in the long run, but now they've stopped the oil leak.

Pros
  • Heavy duty construction
Cons
  • Without automatic transmission
