VTEC Solenoid Refurb
As part of the head refurb I've also refurbed the VTEC Solenoid.
Looked like this originally. There were signs a previous owner had attempted to paint it...
I took it apart and gave the main bodies a good soak and scrub in Gunk and then got the Dremel on the solenoid for a few minutes...
Rinsed them off and after they were dry masked them up...
Then gave them a few coats of VHT paint...
I then reassembled the whole lot, masked the capheads and plug and gave the whole thing a few more coats...
I then put it's new hat on before stowing it away for the winter

Bought ≠ well treated.
Is that textured paint Nafe? Always thought wrinkle effect would look good on a few small bay parts.

I just couldn't justify spending the money they cost on something that doesn't actually do anything different to OEM.K30DPC wrote:So look at this oneDrax wrote:I never seen such a well treated Solenoiddid you give it some ice cream as well before bed?
It's just Halford's own Black VHT which is matt.
