Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires access to the valve cover or cylinder head area where the solenoid is mounted. Before installing, ensure the engine is cool to prevent oil spray. Always clean the area around the old solenoid before removal to prevent dirt or debris from entering the oil passages. Use a new O-ring if the kit does not provide one to prevent future oil leaks. Verify that the 2-pin connector is free of corrosion and clicks firmly into place to maintain a solid electrical path. Regularly check the engine oil, as dirty or low oil can cause premature failure of the new control valve.
