Folks, FYI, If your vehicle has a leak from the gasket between the two halves of the VVT Solenoid you don't have to replace the whole thing anymore. When I made this video the part was not available. The part is available through NAPA now. I have a link in the description. Save $$$$
Hey, you mentioned proper torque on the VVT Valve but didn't mention the torque? I just replaced the gasket on mine and now is pouring oil worse than it was before. Was hopping it is a torque issue. Will you let me know the torque?
You need a manual for that. I don't have that spec, sir. I mentioned that a manual would be needed for this at around the 13 min mark. Be sure to check that plate back there too. They tend to leak also. Good luck to you.
Literally the most helpful video on this problem!! I just finished changing my valve cover gaskets only to find it still leaking badly! It’s also super rare to find part numbers in the description! You rock man!
Great Video, I will help everyone complete this repair with missing info. whats the part called below the spool valve? The part below the spool valve is called...... CAMSHAFT THRUST PLATE O RING......... Get it from Honda. Part# 91301-P8A-A00. Remove old o ring place new o ring in fresh oil then install on thrust plate them head to car. *****NOTE****** ONLY INSTALL BY PUSHING IN BY HAND THEN TIGHTEN. My car fought me every step. I had to back the part out 2 times to get the bolts to align up. What i did was put the plate loosely in camshaft opening and started only a few threads with the (2) 12 mm camshaft thrust plate housing bolts, like 5-10 threads then once aligned i pushed in by hand until it was firmly seated,then tighten with socket going from bottom to top even strokes. Then the torque specs i found were 18 ft pounds torque but i only used 12 ft lbs with crappy harbor freight torque wrench. didn't want to crack anything. How to remove the thrust plate? It seated in very very tight as it should be. Do not PRY. Take a long screwdriver and small hammer and work the 2 studs that hold the medal bracket. do not hit studs only the area around them, i tapped 3 times forwards and then 10 times counter clockwise, basically i annoyed it to death with the small hammer/long screw driver with VERY GENTLE TAPS until it broke free, just take your time.......................... it will come loose be patient............las How do i remove the inner spool valve gasket? Very easy. Use some pb blast if you have some then take the spool valve and place in a vice around the oil pressure sending nut upside down. now you can get the proper leverage to remove and replace the [3] 10 mm bolts holding together. i don't think anyone can loosen in lap by hand. the vise worked perfect. TORQUE SPECS????? i couldn't find them so i just used light force snugged up good and tight in an even pattern foe all (3) 10 mm spool valve body bolts but didn't kill it. Hope this helps someone else. this is my trial and errors in addition to this super great video. ps.... you can get both parts from napa, ebay. I purchased spool valve gasket from Honda $14.50 part# 15826-RDV-J01. I purchased the inner gasket on ebay for $17.00 only because 322 were sold with all great feedback. The napa kit is only $17.50 for both gaskets and the item number is in other comments below.
Just did this repair (including the cam o-ring part) as well yesterday on our 2005 Odyssey. Your video was a huge help - many thanks for taking the time to put together the video! I was quoted $2,000 for the repair on a van worth $1,500!?!? Took me about 2 hrs working slowly and $35 in gaskets/o-ring. Hardest part was getting the cam cover off. I had to rotate for cover back & forth and then was able to pull it off. Thanks again!
You, sir, are amazing. The video is detailed, the camera angle so we can see everything is spot on, and the part numbers and names in the comments is icing on the cake. Thank you so much, you just saved me quite a bit of money.
Bro.! What a great video on this. My van just threw the code for this today and I was clueless as to what it was or anything. I'm a UA-cam expert now. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for this video. Appreciate you spending so much time to put this clear and detailed video. I was able to replace it per your video. No more leak! Thanks

i Replaced my sisters front solenoid , We used a Amazon kit since the oem gasket was like 150$ vs 10$ .... it was leaking on the alternatoer AC compressor, I never thought about the rear one . Ill have to replace3 those next!
Awesome video.....i can't believe all the other crap videos out there trying to explain this....thank you for speaking clearly and the good camera work....
Great video and THANK YOU for the "side note" just what I was looking for. There are a lot of videos about VVT solenoid replacement on UA-cam but no one mentioned the plug o-ring leak which is what I have and thank you for the part numbers and the name of the plug.
Thanks for this video.I ordered the VVT gasket a few weeks ago and was preparing to complete today so I rewatched the video. Lucky I did because I ran out to get the cam O ring from the dealer ($3). The VVT gasket was very stiff but my leak was actually from the cam O ring.
BarboursAutoHelp just to let you know with some updates that, I was able to replace both the gasket and the oring, bought parts from Honda dealerships almost $50! Saved almost $550 thanks again, I couldn’t have done without your video it helped me a lot finished it in less than 2 hours

man, i was golden. turned on the car and oil was coming from there. can you tighten too much? I went to tighten it more and a bolt broke! now I gotta get that out. Ooo wee... was real happy for a minute. not sure where I fucked up... oh, well. I'll figure it... cheers.
Great vid. Super helpful and saved me big bucks. Like others here, I had a tough time with the camshaft thrust plate. That thing is a bear! It took me about an hour to get it off. The o-ring was broken when I did but I’m not sure if I broke it getting it off or if that was the source of my leak. One thing that was a “duh” for me was that the bolts holding the bracket are actually part of the plate. Once I realized that, the comments about twisting the plate made sense. At first I was thinking that the plate had to slide over the bolts. Maybe that will help someone else. Thanks again for all the videos you do.
Great video. I don't have leaking issues (yet) with my 2005 Odyssey, but it started throwing the P2647 code. So my first repair attempt will be to replace the VVT pressure switch.
Changed the oil and filter, had the code cleared and all looks good so far. It was a little low on oil with about 20% life. If it holds good, it must be a system that's very sensitive to oil condition variations. Time will tell if I dodged a bullet.
Quick question, just took our 2011 Odyssey to the shop and had the vvt solenoid replaced bc of oil leak. Now we have rough idle issues. Is this a direct correlation to this replacement? Was it done incorrectly? I did notice some rtv around the solenoid i guess he used to help seal it. It is also the front vvt sol not the rear. Thanks for any info.
Thank you but thank you very much for that help and information I saw an oil leak but I did not know where I was cleaning all that part of the block and even fit the cover valve gasket and continued to settle until I saw where it was thanks to you I did it myself because here in new york they charge you even for breathing
Hi Barbour, sorry to bother. My name is Emilio. I'm changing my wife 's 2009 Honda Odyssey VVT Solenoid. I took out the air filter cover. And I am stucked trying to pull out the first hose. I moved the clamp far away. But the hose just doesn't move out a millimeter. I am afraid I can break the black plastic reservoir where it fits. Do you have any trick to get the hose out? Thank you very much!
Dude! Thank you I have been chasing this leak for weeks and was not aware of the internal gasket. Part ordered excited to fix it for the final time. Thank you!
My wife’s 2006 is leaking oil at 168k it’s an exL i will remove the air IC and and check but it’s pretty messy below so it will need some cleaning first. I hope so his is it!
Its called a rear camshaft thrust cover o-ring. I believe the part # is 91301-P8A-A00 for the part. Don't quote me on that. The parts dept is keeping it a secret for some reason. Of course its only like $3-$4 at the dealer. Always confirm with your parts pro correct parts.
Thanks for the detailed video!!! The VVT solenoid came off easily. I replaced the outer and inner gaskets using the NAPA replacement set. But I’m having trouble getting the rear camshaft thrust cover off. I removed the two 12mm bolts, two 10mm nuts and bracket, but can’t get remove it. You mentioned shaking it loose after 5 minutes. How much force did it take to break loose? Did you use any tools to pry it loose? Any tips to remove it?
Very clear and concise video, thank you! Our 07 Odyssey engine with 242K miles makes a grating sound after a cold start for about half a second, then runs smoothly and quietly. It sounds like the starter is still engaged, but I don’t think that’s it. The van had the timing belt tensioner replaced as part a recent timing belt service, so it’s not that. Could it be that the VVT solenoid is starting to fail?
I know it's been 3 years since your post here but I just wanted to comment that my timing belt tensioner failed twice right after installation and noise when its first cold is typical tensioner telling you I'm about ruin your engine. I hope you figured it out even if it wasn't the tensioner please let us know what you found out so we can all learn. Thanks!
Sure, glad to give an update. I took the van to my local independent Honda shop and they said it was a starter noise. They suggested I try to ignore it and did not think it would cause any significant issues. They sent me on my way without replacing the starter and with no charge for the diagnosis. It turns out they were right, and interestingly, the starter does not seem to be making the noise any more. In summary, the original engine itself remains quiet with no oil burning, and the same refined power as ever. Mileage currently sits at 287,000. Incidentally, I have a VCM engine and have not defeated that feature.
@@jaygrosse8365 Thanks for the update, I recently turned off the VCM on my oddy at 250k it was starting to sound bad when eco on. been running smooth since.
It was not leaking the last I checked. I have a video showing how I sealed it. It’s in the description. However, you can get both seals, including the internal seal for around $20. They are available now so there is now reason to “hack engineer” this. Also “ hack engineering” can really get you into trouble, $$$, especially when it comes to this part and the system it is a part of.
Excellent video, but I was only partially successful. I replaced the gaskets in the spool valve but still had a small leak so 'I went to replace the CAMSHAFT THRUST PLATE O RING Part# 91301-P8A-A00 and not only was it a PIA to get out, but a lot of oil came out of the engine when i took the plug out. After reinserting with new o-ring and tightening it down, it leaks even more now - steady stream! WTF? Either it didn't go in straight or I scored something in the process. Thinking I may need a whole new cap - just hoping I didn't score the engine side.
Oh man. Sounds frustrating. Sometimes back tracking will lead you to the problem. Its possible the seal got pinched. Not sure. Either way I hope you get it taken care of.
What location is the engine # ..to make sure i order correct parts...i have a 2005 odyssey..parts guy said there is 2 3.5 liter engines being used with slightly different parts..thanks for ur videos helps alot..
Nice video in tight quarters... Besides the oil leak you discovered, was thee engine running normally without the check engine light illuminating or flashing? Our 2006's CE light comes on, then starts losing power and the CE light starts flashing when at freeway speeds (city driving seems normal). Pulling over, turning engine off and then restarting resets the light and it seems to run/drive okay for awhile. Shop thinks our VVT unit is pugged up due to driving 2k+ miles past the oil change alert with dirty oil. Thanks!
Get svcm... Google it. Change your spark plugs at the same time as installing it and it should fix all issues. You need to Google the vcm issue with these cars and the svcm part works brilliantly.
Great video. I have a 2007 Odyssey with this same exact leaking problem. Just a quick question: I recently installed a VCM Tuner which bypasses the engine from switching to 3 cylinders in ECO mode. Do you think this current leak was caused by possible strain on the solenoid?
Hey man i change those 3 gasket 2 in the valve and the one in the camshaft trust seal, now I'm having a bigger leak dripping right on top of the exhaust pipe so you can imagine the mess of smoke. What could be wrong?, i was really careful installing those gaskets.
The dealer just replaced the valve cover gasket like a month ago, i didn't try with the uv light but i will, but most likely is the same spot, i found i little bit of oil around a green clip behind the vtec valve when the engine is cool.
@@BarboursAutoHelp when the engine is cool or not running is not leaking or leaking very little oil, but when is running specially idling is leaking a lot
Be sure to put engine oil dye in the engine oil. You'll need to let the engine run with the dye in it to give it a chance to leak out. I've got a video on that. I actually did a dye test to the Odyssey before making this video
Hey bro need your help i have odyssey 2005 just bought it and after i drove like and hour it was running fine but after i took the exit from the insterstate car start moving on slow speed i mean really slow and oil is lacking on driver side engine i really don't know actually location bcs there is lots of thing is oily so its really hard to track .... do you think this solenoid is licking bcs after my car cools down everything start moving pretty good until its great hot car runs fine.. please help me
The front spool valve on a 2009 odessey has 3 bolts connected to a lower housing. Does that housing that consist of 2 bolts come out without having to disassemble anything else
You said the front spool valve. Are you working on the same valve shown in the video? Do you have a video showing what your talking about? Sorry, I'm trying to imagine.
Hi buddy it is Sunday I am doing this..called EVERY parts store and only Napa seems to have it...amazon don't have it....but this link you got shows like 3 kinds of gasket so all 3 come for 17 buck's...and we just use the 3 chamber gasket..
Very likely. If your oil is fresh and isn't low, it could be the VVT or Vtec. I had my code scanned and it came up as upper rear cyliner oil pressure switch, which is on the vvt assembly. The switch alone is at least $150-170. I decided look on ebay and got the whole vvt assembly with switch and solenoid for $140. Going to replace it in the next hour.
I couldn't get that cam thrust plate off. I got it to spin tapping on it, but that's it. I didn't see a good place to pry it off either. oh well maybe it won't leak.
@@BarboursAutoHelp - well I broke the bolt head off closest to the front trying to get my torque wrench to click at 16 ft-lbs. 😑 Hopefully I can get it off and the bolt out.
Where do I get the "o" ring and what size is it and what is the plate under the VVT solenoid called? Should I just take it off and take it to the auto parts store to get it fitted?
Its called a rear camshaft thrust cover o-ring. I believe the part # is 91301-P8A-A00 for the part. Don't quote me on that. The parts dept is keeping it a secret for some reason. Of course its only like $3-$4 at the dealer. Always confirm with your parts pro correct parts.

Hello, thanks for the great video. I tried to buy the gaskets online, but I'm told it fits only 05 - 07 Odysseys......my Odyssey is an 08. Do you have any idea what the part number for the 08 is please?

whats the part called below the spool valve?
The part below the spool valve is called...... CAMSHAFT THRUST PLATE O RING......... Get it from Honda. Part# 91301-P8A-A00. Remove old o ring place new o ring in fresh oil then install on thrust plate them head to car. *****NOTE****** ONLY INSTALL BY PUSHING IN BY HAND THEN TIGHTEN. My car fought me every step. I had to back the part out 2 times to get the bolts to align up.

Then the torque specs i found were 18 ft pounds torque but i only used 12 ft lbs with crappy harbor freight torque wrench. didn't want to crack anything.
How to remove the thrust plate?
It seated in very very tight as it should be. Do not PRY. Take a long screwdriver and small hammer and work the 2 studs that hold the medal bracket. do not hit studs only the area around them, i tapped 3 times forwards and then 10 times counter clockwise, basically i annoyed it to death with the small hammer/long screw driver with VERY GENTLE TAPS until it broke free, just take your time.......................... it will come loose be patient............las
How do i remove the inner spool valve gasket?
Very easy. Use some pb blast if you have some then take the spool valve and place in a vice around the oil pressure sending nut upside down. now you can get the proper leverage to remove and replace the [3] 10 mm bolts holding together. i don't think anyone can loosen in lap by hand. the vise worked perfect. TORQUE SPECS????? i couldn't find them so i just used light force snugged up good and tight in an even pattern foe all (3) 10 mm spool valve body bolts but didn't kill it.

Do 2009 odyssey exl have VVT solenoid gaskets in it? Should i just use Honda bond to reseal it?
by the way, what is the name of the piece you extract from the bottom of the Solenoid? I saw that you changed an O ring, well again thanks
Just a note for anyone troubleshooting: This procedure will suit any J35 Series engine (V6 3.5L).
Thank you for the best video online for this VVT leak. I'll be starting this project this weekend! wish me luck!!
Hope it goes well. BYW if the gasket inside the VVT is leaking the gasket is available now. I noted this in the description.

I love your disclaimer, well written
Thanks. Im definitely not a word smith. But, I think I got the point across.
got it on~! thanks so much. you helped a lot.
Hello... what is the correct nomenclature of the engine plug you mention in the video in order to get the right o-ring seal?
Hey I have a question, what ist called o ring part that u replaced below the solenoid? Thanks
Its called a rear camshaft thrust cover o-ring. I believe the part # is 91301-P8A-A00 for the part. Don't quote me on that. The parts dept is keeping it a secret for some reason. Of course its only like $3-$4 at the dealer. Always confirm with your parts pro correct parts.

Do you mind if I ask what is the name of the other O-ring you replaced on the part right below the VVT solenoid?
What is the gasket part number for the plug that you additionally replaced its the round one that you had to wiggle out?
Congratulations. It is a great video. Do you know is the same to 2014 model? Thank you
Probably not
I hope this helps my dad out i will show it to him thanks

It was not leaking the last I checked. I have a video showing how I sealed it. It’s in the description. However, you can get both seals, including the internal seal for around $20. They are available now so there is now reason to “hack engineer” this. Also “ hack engineering” can really get you into trouble, $$$, especially when it comes to this part and the system it is a part of.
I don’t recommend using the sealer on this.
Excellent video, but I was only partially successful. I replaced the gaskets in the spool valve but still had a small leak so 'I went to replace the CAMSHAFT THRUST PLATE O RING Part# 91301-P8A-A00 and not only was it a PIA to get out, but a lot of oil came out of the engine when i took the plug out. After reinserting with new o-ring and tightening it down, it leaks even more now - steady stream! WTF? Either it didn't go in straight or I scored something in the process. Thinking I may need a whole new cap - just hoping I didn't score the engine side.
Oh man. Sounds frustrating. Sometimes back tracking will lead you to the problem. Its possible the seal got pinched. Not sure. Either way I hope you get it taken care of.
Just took it apart again. Gasket was apparently crushed during reassembly. Will replace the whole cap this time and hope for the best.
That duct-tape looks like it helped a lot!
It did until I got a new duct. Gotta do what ya gotta do.
@@BarboursAutoHelp I feel you lol.
Awesome video !!! Thank you !!!!!!!!!!
What location is the engine # ..to make sure i order correct parts...i have a 2005 odyssey..parts guy said there is 2 3.5 liter engines being used with slightly different parts..thanks for ur videos helps alot..
Not 100%. Maybe on the block close to the bell housing.
So you replaced the big oring..did napa have that part too
Nice video in tight quarters... Besides the oil leak you discovered, was thee engine running normally without the check engine light illuminating or flashing?
Our 2006's CE light comes on, then starts losing power and the CE light starts flashing when at freeway speeds (city driving seems normal). Pulling over, turning engine off and then restarting resets the light and it seems to run/drive okay for awhile. Shop thinks our VVT unit is pugged up due to driving 2k+ miles past the oil change alert with dirty oil.
Thanks!
Get svcm... Google it. Change your spark plugs at the same time as installing it and it should fix all issues. You need to Google the vcm issue with these cars and the svcm part works brilliantly.
Google SVCM... buy it and change the spark plugs. Install the SVCM. 😊
Great video. I have a 2007 Odyssey with this same exact leaking problem. Just a quick question: I recently installed a VCM Tuner which bypasses the engine from switching to 3 cylinders in ECO mode. Do you think this current leak was caused by possible strain on the solenoid?
Probably just an old crusty seal.
Excellent video and instructions
Glad you liked it
is it same on a 2009 honda accord 3.5 ?
Is there another VVT solenoid on the other side?
gonna do it today...
good shit man!
What about the 3 orings on the actual oil control valve itself? Any availability ty
Have you tried googling it? I'm pretty sure they are available. If google can't help I'd try calling your dealerships parts dept.
Hey man i change those 3 gasket 2 in the valve and the one in the camshaft trust seal, now I'm having a bigger leak dripping right on top of the exhaust pipe so you can imagine the mess of smoke.
What could be wrong?, i was really careful installing those gaskets.
Maybe a valve cover gasket leak. Have you tried using a UV light to locate the source of the leak?
The dealer just replaced the valve cover gasket like a month ago, i didn't try with the uv light but i will, but most likely is the same spot, i found i little bit of oil around a green clip behind the vtec valve when the engine is cool.
@@BarboursAutoHelp when the engine is cool or not running is not leaking or leaking very little oil, but when is running specially idling is leaking a lot
Be sure to put engine oil dye in the engine oil. You'll need to let the engine run with the dye in it to give it a chance to leak out. I've got a video on that. I actually did a dye test to the Odyssey before making this video
Here is a link to the video. ua-cam.com/video/B3P5Ntqb_pU/v-deo.html
Hey bro need your help i have odyssey 2005 just bought it and after i drove like and hour it was running fine but after i took the exit from the insterstate car start moving on slow speed i mean really slow and oil is lacking on driver side engine i really don't know actually location bcs there is lots of thing is oily so its really hard to track .... do you think this solenoid is licking bcs after my car cools down everything start moving pretty good until its great hot car runs fine.. please help me
It could be leaking but I don’t think an oil leak would cause this symptom where the car starts to move slow. I’d have it looked at by a technician.
The front spool valve on a 2009 odessey has 3 bolts connected to a lower housing. Does that housing that consist of 2 bolts come out without having to disassemble anything else
You said the front spool valve. Are you working on the same valve shown in the video? Do you have a video showing what your talking about? Sorry, I'm trying to imagine.
Same type of valve, but it's at the front passenger side. There's one valve for each cylinder head
I apologize. What part of the video did you see the housing with two bolts? I need some sort of visual.
Hi buddy it is Sunday I am doing this..called EVERY parts store and only Napa seems to have it...amazon don't have it....but this link you got shows like 3 kinds of gasket so all 3 come for 17 buck's...and we just use the 3 chamber gasket..
Cool, so how's it going? Everything working out for you?
@@BarboursAutoHelp no not going GOOD...Napa has it but part is in Oregon I am in Atlanta Georgia USA...all the local parts store do not have it...
@@BarboursAutoHelp so I GUESS I will go to dealer tomorrow and get both the o ring and vvt gasket....
Another option is to buy the valve from the dealer. Unfortunately they don't offer just the gasket. They sell the whole thing. $$$$
@@BarboursAutoHelp but you said is called a spool valve....
As of right now none of the parts places have both part my dad had to go to eBay
Do you have the link for buy the bolts? I broke one . I supposed put the torque but broke before that
I don't
Thanks for the good video!
Could this be the reason I'm getting a VSA light on or does the pressure switch associated with this unit need to be replaced?
Not sure. You'll need to have it diagnosed.
Very likely. If your oil is fresh and isn't low, it could be the VVT or Vtec. I had my code scanned and it came up as upper rear cyliner oil pressure switch, which is on the vvt assembly. The switch alone is at least $150-170. I decided look on ebay and got the whole vvt assembly with switch and solenoid for $140. Going to replace it in the next hour.
@shannon did replacing fix ur problem and what was ur engine doing before or what code did u have
I have a 2007 odyssey and my passenger side and rear windows suddenly stopped working.... have anyone had this problem? if so please help.
Don't have a vid on that yet.
is this the same procedure with honda pilot 2009?
Do not know
Is this the part that goes bad when you get a P2647 code?
Sorry, its not that simple. I'd recommend having it diagnosed before throwing a part at it.
How much torque did you end of using for the 10mm's? I don't have the repair manual
I used German torque. Lol. I don’t have the spec. Sorry. I highly recommend getting a repair manual.
8.7
Thank for video my friend 🙏🏼🔥
No problem 👍
On the solonoid it has 3 orings
Can this same procedure be done on a 2004 honda pilot?
Not sure
Helpful video bro 😺
How long does this repair take to complete if i can get all new gaskets?
It really depends on you. I'd plan on 30 minutes to 2 hrs at least.
very, very helpful.
Hey, thanks!
what's the part number for the oring at 9:08?
Chech the description. I may have posted it there.
I couldn't get that cam thrust plate off. I got it to spin tapping on it, but that's it. I didn't see a good place to pry it off either. oh well maybe it won't leak.
Hopefully not.
@@BarboursAutoHelp - well I broke the bolt head off closest to the front trying to get my torque wrench to click at 16 ft-lbs. 😑 Hopefully I can get it off and the bolt out.
Is that the torque spec?

Where do I get the "o" ring and what size is it and what is the plate under the VVT solenoid called? Should I just take it off and take it to the auto parts store to get it fitted?
You’ll probably only find that seal at the dealership. I believe that piece is called a cam plug.
I’d get the dealership part. That way you know it’s right.
BarboursAutoHelp
Thanks for your very informative video and great camera angles. Did you ever find what that piece is called?
Its called a rear camshaft thrust cover o-ring. I believe the part # is 91301-P8A-A00 for the part. Don't quote me on that. The parts dept is keeping it a secret for some reason. Of course its only like $3-$4 at the dealer. Always confirm with your parts pro correct parts.

Hi where did you buy the oring
I believe they are available at the dealer.
Hello, thanks for the great video.
I tried to buy the gaskets online, but I'm told it fits only 05 - 07 Odysseys......my Odyssey is an 08.
Do you have any idea what the part number for the 08 is please?
I do not
Thank you Sr. Thank you !🙏👍
Sure thing.
Thanks for your job
Your taking my job?
Vtec Solenoid Gasket Kit from Napa: Part #: NOE 91702681
Does it apply to Honda Pilot 2010? Vvt solenoid gasket
It may. Not sure. You gotta verify in your manual.
