Fast delivery and good fit

I used two of the three seals (and have no idea what the third is for) to fix a common VTEC solenoid leak to stop . By reducing oil consumption, they quickly pay for themselves. Delivery was quick.

Pros
  • Rugged construction - made from quality materials to ensure reliable performance and long life
Cons
  • Nothing here

Mismatched parts

The solenoid gasket with filter was thicker than the gasket without filter installed. The thickness of the unfiltered gasket was below average and could not protect the block from oil leakage. I'm not sure why there is a large discrepancy in the thickness of these two gaskets as they must be the same to properly seal the unit and prevent oil from leaking out. Next time I will buy goods elsewhere.

Pros
  • Ensure this part is correct for your vehicle, enter make, model and trim level into Amazon Garage
Cons
  • Many things

Works, 03 Civic ex 1.7

Installed a few days ago. My vtec solenoid was leaking. The seals were quite dry and compressed. I didn't use the third smaller pad. The other, smaller, is thicker and has removed the screen to match. (The original also had no screen). I'm still seeing leaks, but too cold to wash and degrease, so I don't know if my problem is completely solved. However, this kit fit and was a pretty easy job.

Pros
  • Reliable quality backed by a team of product experts in the USA and over a century of experience in the automotive industry
Cons
  • Some small things
