Seal the oil passage behind your variable valve timing solenoid and help keep it working as designed with the MAHLE Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid Gasket GS34049. This gasket seals the mating surface between the VVT solenoid and the engine, helping contain engine oil and maintain proper pressure to the solenoid. It's a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2008-2012 Honda Accord, 2008-2017 Honda Odyssey and 2009-2015 Honda Pilot. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine-level details.
If oil weeping or a leak at the VVT solenoid is traced to a worn or hardened gasket, this piece replaces it. Diagnose the source of any leak before servicing, since seepage can originate from other joints as well.
