I just changed the vtec(spool)cyclinoid gasket on my b16a..and it stoped leaking for about a day. Any suggestions to make it stop leaking. I bought the gasket from the dealer.<br>Thanks<br>David

You put gasket sealer, liquid gasket, or some other type of epoxy sealer on it, right?

In the diesel shop we use a heckuva lot of RTV (commonly called "blue glue". It stands for Room Temperature Vulcanizing. You put on a thin layer with your gasket (Or a thicker layer without) and go get a cup of coffee while you let it set a few minutes and then reassemble. We use it on hub selas and run them a hundred thousand miles and they hold just fine. Stuff ain't cheap though, but its well worth it.
