My theory? A previous owner saw there was an oil leaking from the solenoid area, but instead of doing the right thing and replacing the gasket, they decided to tighten the bolts in hopes that would stop the leak. Also, one of the other two bolts I extracted broke in half as I was threading it out. Or so I thought once I took the other two bolts out, I realized that whoever had last touched the third bolt had somehow snapped the head off, leaving the remainder of the fastener in the block. One of the three bolts that holds the solenoid to the block was straight-up missing. Upon closer inspection of the VTEC solenoid, the reason became fairly obvious. Yes! After months of driving this car without its second cam profile, I finally took the time to address why VTEC wasn’t working on this car.
