Acura / Honda Accord I4 Valve Cover & VTEC Solenoid Gasket Replacement - 2.4L I4

A common, top side source of oil leakage on older, high mileage Honda 2.4L I4 engines (used in various Honda and Acura vehicles such as the the Accord, CSX, RDX, TSX, RSX, CRV and Element are the valve cover and the VTEC solenoid gaskets. I recommend you replace these gaskets together if either one shows signs of leakage. The VTEC solenoid gasket is easier to get too with the valve cover removed; conversely, if the valve cover is removed, the solenoid gasket is a relatively inexpensive part so why not replace it.

List of vehicles:
ACURA CSX 2007-2010
ACURA RDX 2007-2012
ACURA RSX 2002-2006
ACURA TSX 2004-2008
HONDA ACCORD 2003-2007
