OE-Style VVT Solenoid Filter for Ford and Lincoln
Gates VVS918 Engine Variable Timing Solenoid Filters are built to OE specifications for fit, form, and performance. They help keep the variable valve timing system clean by capturing small particles before they can circulate through the solenoid circuit.
Designed for select Ford and Lincoln applications, this Gates Engine Variable Timing Solenoid Filter supports precise oil control in the VVT system on vehicles such as the Ford F-150, Ford Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator.
Key Features
- OE-style fit and dimensions for the variable timing solenoid filter location
- Constructed from rubber for durability and service life
- Helps trap fine debris before it reaches the VVT system
- Designed for engine valve train applications
- Fits applications including Ford F-150, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and Lincoln Mark LT
- Part number VVS918 for easy identification
Product Details
The Gates VVS918 is an engine variable valve timing solenoid filter made to match OE specifications in fit, form, and performance. Its rubber construction and compact dimensions, 1.94 inches long, 1.78 inches wide, and 0.422 inch high, support proper placement in the solenoid assembly. By filtering out small particles, it helps protect the variable timing system from contamination that can affect oil flow and valve timing control. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 917-200ES for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Contamination in the variable valve timing solenoid circuit
- Restricted oil flow caused by fine debris buildup
- Erratic VVT operation related to dirty solenoid passages
- Premature wear in the timing control system
- Service issues on Ford and Lincoln VVT-equipped engines
