VCT Solenoid leaking

Recommended Posts

Watch macbwt's video on how to take the valve cover off. Although on a 2011, basically the same process to take off on a 2008. 2011 has 2 VCT solenoids per bank since both intake and exhaust are variably controlled. 2008 only has 1 as only the intake is variably controlled.

 

A new valve cover gasket is advised
