Ajusa 00976700 Vtec Oil Control Spool Valve Filter Gasket

The Ajusa 00976700 is a VTEC Oil Control Spool Valve Filter Gasket engineered as a direct OE replacement for Honda and Acura engines equipped with VTEC variable valve timing systems. This gasket seals the spool valve (VTEC solenoid) to the engine and incorporates an integrated metal mesh filter element that screens oil flowing to the VTEC oil control circuit — a critical function for proper variable valve timing operation.

Key Features:

• ACM (Acrylic Rubber) construction — provides superior resistance to engine heat and oil degradation compared to standard rubber compounds
• Integrated perforated metal filter element — screens contaminants from oil entering the VTEC spool valve, helping prevent solenoid malfunction caused by a clogged or damaged screen
• OE form, fit, and function — engineered to exact OE specifications for straightforward installation and a reliable seal
• OE-certified manufacturer — Ajusa has earned OE certification through decades of precision gasket manufacturing dating back to 1972
• Sold individually

A failed or leaking spool valve filter gasket can cause VTEC engagement issues, oil leaks at the solenoid, or fault codes related to variable valve timing. Replacing this gasket restores proper sealing and oil flow control to the VTEC system. The Ajusa 00976700 is an affordable, high-quality alternative to dealer-sourced components.
