Honda D16Y8/D17A2 VTEC Solenoid Gasket 15825-P2M-005

Honda D16Y8 / D17A2 VTEC Solenoid Gasket

If your D series starts leaving a little oil stripe down the block near the spool valve, don’t overthink it. The OEM Honda VTEC gasket 15825-P2M-005 is the small piece that keeps oil pressure where it belongs so VTEC actually engages the same way every time. When the original gasket heat cycles and hardens, you’ll see seepage, sometimes a drip, and on some cars you’ll get weird, inconsistent VTEC behavior. Swapping in the Honda VTEC engagement gasket 15825-P2M-005 brings it back to how Honda intended it.

This is the correct Honda D series VTEC solenoid gasket for D16Y8 and D17A2 applications, so it covers the common needs for a Honda D16Y8 VTEC solenoid gasket, and Honda D17A2 VTEC solenoid gasket. You’ll see these in the Honda Civic 1996-2000 VTEC gasket range, the Honda Civic EX 2001-2005 VTEC gasket range, and the Honda Del Sol Si VTEC gasket fitment. It seals between the VTEC solenoid and the head with the same fit you get from the factory, which matters because a sloppy seal turns into a classic Honda Civic oil leak solenoid gasket situation fast.

Fitment note that saves headaches: this is not the D16Z6 gasket. If you’re working on a D16Z6, you need part number 15825-P08-005. Don’t try to “make it work.” You’ll either fight a leak or end up doing the job twice.
