Need help with bunch of parts
So my boy with 175k miles is giving me some hard time.. time to spend some $$ to fix him up. He has been leaking for months now..
My mechanic friend and I will be doing the work but I need some help with ordering the parts I need.
I did my research on here and other websites but still don't know for sure which parts to order.. Help a sister out please!
My boy is '01 ap1. Parts that are needed are below..
- VTEC Solenoid gasket & valve cover kit
- Oil filter spacer hose
- Oil pressure sensor gasket
- Timing Chain Tensioner gasket
I know you can just google them and it gives you all the results but which ones exactly do I purchase?
I attached some pictures. Is there anything else that needs to be replaced?
Thank you so much in advance!! Hope everyone is having a great weekh]

Yes, from your photos, the valve cover gasket is leaking as well. That will need replacement.
EDIT: just saw "and valve cover kit" on your post. Serves me right for reading quickly.
Just google "Majestic Honda Parts" and use the parts diagrams on their website to get the part numbers. They sell the parts below retail.
The upper vtec solenoid gasket (the curvy one) can't be purchased separately from Honda... I bought one from Ballade Sports... From the photos, yours is leaking. The lower one (rectangles and a filter) can be bought from Honda.
I use silicone grease sparingly (wipe on, wipe clean) on new o-rings. It's better than wetting them with engine oil because it doesn't eat away at the rubber, it lasts forever, and it's good to 450 degrees. Never had to replace one twice...
The oil pressure switch doesn't have a gasket, it uses tapered threads to seal. It shouldn't be leaking unless it's been taken out and reinstalled under-tightened. If so, remove, clean threads thoroughly, reinstall to proper torque.
The oil filter spacer hose is a coolant line. Are you leaking coolant as well?
The oil residue down low looks like leakage from a loose filter.
Good luck.
