## Overview

The Dorman 918-056 VVT Solenoid is a precision-engineered, cost-effective replacement part designed for select Acura and Honda VTEC engines. It enables replacing only the top half of the spool valve and gaskets, restoring engine performance while preventing oil leaks that can damage the alternator. Made in the USA with machined metal components, it fits multiple model years and trims, ensuring a reliable, leak-proof repair that saves money and extends engine life.

## Description

When the gasket on the original equipment variable valve timing (VVT) spool valve fails on VTEC engines on certain Acura and Honda vehicles, the dealer only offers a complete, costly valve assembly as a replacement. But Honda has acknowledged the bottom half of the factory spool valve usually isn't necessary to replace, instructing its dealership technicians in one service bulletin to simply dispose of that bottom half of the new assembly when it arrives instead of going through the effort to replace it. This Dorman OE FIX VVT spool valve is designed to save money by enabling the replacement of just the top half of the spool valve and the failed gaskets, saving unnecessary expense, helping to restore engine performance, and eliminating oil leaks that can land on and destroy the alternator. This part is compatible with the following vehicles. Before purchasing, enter your vehicle trim in the garage tool to confirm fitment.

Review: Perfectly Worked for Honda Pilot 2014 - After replacing a few gaskets and seals to fix an oil leak in my 2014 Honda Pilot, the VTM-4 and engine lights started appearing. Despite multiple computer resets, the mechanic eventually diagnosed a faulty sensor that needed replacement. The original sensor was significantly more expensive—about 4.5 times the cost of this one. After checking the local and used parts market, I found this sensor on desertcart. A friend recommended buying from desertcart instead of the local or used market, so I decided to order it. The sensor arrived before the expected delivery date, well-packaged and secure. It fits perfectly and works flawlessly in my Honda Pilot 2014. Highly recommended 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
