CRP 00976100 Ajusa VTEC Variable Valve Timing Solenoid Filter Gasket

The CRP / Ajusa 00976100 is a Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid Filter Gasket engineered for Honda and Acura engines equipped with VTEC technology. This gasket seals the variable timing solenoid (spool valve) oil passage at the cylinder head and includes an integrated screen filter that prevents oil contaminants from clogging the VTEC actuation circuit.

Honda and Acura VTEC systems rely on precise oil pressure to adjust valve timing and lift for optimal power and efficiency. When oil change intervals are extended, sludge and debris can clog the solenoid filter screen embedded in the housing gasket, causing the VTEC mechanism to malfunction or fail entirely. Replacing this gasket restores proper oil flow to the solenoid and is a cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire VVT solenoid assembly.

Key Features:

• OE-quality Ajusa by CRP Industries construction for precise fit and reliable sealing
• Seals the variable timing solenoid to the cylinder head oil passage
• Integrated filter screen prevents debris from entering the VTEC oil circuit
• Sold individually — ideal for targeted replacement during VTEC solenoid service
• Significantly more affordable than purchasing a complete OEM VTEC solenoid assembly
• Direct OE-specification replacement — no modifications required

This gasket is the correct choice when servicing the lower or spool-filter position VVT solenoid on applicable Honda and Acura VTEC engines. It is an excellent solution during routine VTEC maintenance or when diagnosing VTEC engagement issues caused by restricted oil flow.
