Dorman 918-056GS Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid Gasket - Front

Dorman 918-056GS VVT Solenoid Gasket

Dorman 918-056GS is an OE FIX variable valve timing spool valve gasket assortment for select Honda and Acura VTEC engines. It addresses oil seepage at the VVT solenoid area by replacing the failed gaskets instead of the full valve assembly.

Key Features

• OE FIX design for the variable valve timing spool valve gasket area
• Rubber and elastomer construction for sealing at the VVT housing
• Black finish for a factory-style appearance
• Includes a gasket with filter screen, a gasket without filter screen, mounting plate, and bolts
• Helps restore proper sealing at the front-mounted VVT assembly

Detailed Description

This Dorman 918-056GS gasket set is built for Honda Accord, Honda Odyssey, Honda Pilot, Honda Crosstour, Honda Accord Crosstour, and Acura RDX applications with front-mounted VVT spool valve assemblies. It is designed for engines where the original gaskets fail and the dealer solution is a complete valve assembly. By replacing the sealing components directly, this part helps reduce repair cost and labor while addressing the source of oil leakage around the VVT unit.

This part cross-references 15810R70A03 and 15810R70A04 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Oil leaks at the VVT spool valve or solenoid housing
• Loss of sealing at the original gasket surfaces
• Oil contamination around the alternator area
• Reduced engine performance caused by VVT sealing failure
• Need to replace the gasket assembly without changing the full valve unit

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the front VVT spool valve location only where listed fitment applies. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly before assembly and inspect the housing for damage, warpage, or contamination that could affect sealing. Confirm the engine uses the correct Honda or Acura VTEC VVT spool valve configuration before ordering Dorman 918-056GS.

Quality Assurance

Dorman engineers OE-style replacement parts to address common failure points in original components. This gasket assortment is built to restore sealing performance at the VVT assembly on select Honda and Acura engines.
