Default 1998 honda accord VTEC Solenoid Valve?
Hi, I have a 1998 honda accord LX 4cyl auto. I am going to replace my VTEC Solenoid Valve myself and need to know how many "ft of torque" I need to use on the bolts to tighten when I replace?

Rule of thumb; tighten until you feel a sharp rise in torque, then tighten another 1/6 of a turn.
This is not a critical torque, like rod bearings or head bolts.

The gasket is in a groove like an O-ring. Extra-tight will NOT make any difference for leakage.
