Quick question for everyone. I just replaced my distributor o-ring and that seemed to help a little bit, but I still have a little oil leaking from that area. I wanted to change out the valve cover gasket, and the vtec solenoid gasket.

Anything special to replace them? Also do I need to drain the oil to replace the vtec solenoid gasket?

Thanks

No you dont need to drain the oil. When putting the gaskets on rub some oil on them before placing them on the grooves.
