Thank you Bullet Solano. This video was extremely helpful. I followed the guidance to replace the gaskets in my Honda Accord EX 2002 over the weekend. I took your tip and made a very small wrench by snapping off one side and grinding the broken end smooth on a bench grinder. One tip though: my ring wrench didn't fit over the top nut and I actually had to grind away on the ring to make is slimmer. After about 5 grind/check fit cycles, I ended up making it so it could slip over. After that the rest was easy. Thanks again! Really enjoy your videos.

To viewers: Make sure to not lose the spring that holds the plunger in place. I dropped mine without noticing, and it made the car go into limp mode. Rewatched Bullet's video, found the spring, and once I installed it, the car ran fine again xD

Thanks for the video Bullet.. I was able to perform this procedure easily. I followed your video, but I used the Harbor Freight Box End off set wrench 8 pc item 32042. This enabled be to get the bottom bolt off. I had to wiggle and work the wrench as it was tight, but the nut eventually came loose. I also cleaned the EGR since I had to remove it for the VTEC gasket replacement. In addition, I tested the VTEC solenoid per your instructions.. That was excellent testing procedure. I learned something... thanks again.

My wife's 1999 honda accord was leaking 3 quarts in 100 miles (on the passenger side of the car)! I could not see where it was coming from. Changed the distributor O-ring, still leaked. replaced the VTEC to head gasket but it did not look bad. Replaced the gasket under the solenoid. The leak stopped. The gasket under the solenoid was brittle and I suspect leaking. Getting those three bolts for the VTEC to head broken lose was not easy. I used a 10mm boxed in wrench and some uncool methods to get enough leverage on the wrench to get the bottom one lose. (included a hammer, a hatchet and a crowbar). Taking the water inlet off would have made it a lot easier but I did not have the "O" rings and gaskets for it and having to catch the coolant would have been a pain. One more thing, I replaced the PCV valve. A bad one can make seals fail. Thank you for the video!

Your car automatic or manual? Mine's a manual. Was yours throwing a code or are you just replacing it for leak sake? I had to change my rocker arm assembly, and after that I hit the road to make sure all was good. WELL, I was on second or third (manual) and hit it, then the car gave a slight jerk up around 3500-3600 rpm and CEL came on with vtec code. Car drives fine as long as I keep it below 3500 rpm, but I know something needs to be replaced, not sure what. Would you think I need an entire solenoid to be on the safe side or just change the gasket? Your thoughts?

@@BulletSolano several things I love about you and your channel. A) you have a 6th gen accord, not many ppl do B) you fix a lot of things that help me with similar issues. C) you have a very fast response time to questions. I just ordered a remanufactured one, so is basically new, not a 3rd party one, and it was only 30 bucks 😁😁 also, ffr, I seen someone do the same procedure, except instead of the small wrench he used an offset 10mm one, which I think I may do but I do have a small 10mm as well

Anybody know if getting to the vtec bolts from underneath is possible? I am just thinking another angle might be easier. One guy had a video where he got it from underneath after taking the oil filter off.

The code is when your oil is low or the valve is not working, if you have a leak that’s a different problem

Hi, Bullet! I'm trying to find the oem part to that gasket you were referring to that would need replacing if we remove the thermostat housing. I plan to change out the thermostat while I'm doing the solenoid gasket. Would that be called the thermostat case gasket, if so, I see two of them listed for my 98 honda accord 4 cyl, 2.3l: 91312-POA-000? or is it 91312-P0A-000? Do either of them need gasket sealant applied? Thanks a million!
