VTEC Spool Valve Bolts (OEM Honda 95701-06055-08) – Set of 3
These are the correct OEM flange bolts that secure the VTEC spool valve assembly on the Honda Element.
If you’ve worked on this job before, you already know—these bolts can be a pain. They sit at a slight angle on the engine block and are difficult to see during installation and removal, which makes it easy to start turning them without the socket fully seated.
That’s when things go wrong.
It’s very common for these bolts to strip, round off, or even bend slightly during the process. This set gives you all three replacements so you’re not forced to reuse damaged hardware.
🔧 Why These Matter
• Proper length and flange design for correct VTEC assembly mounting
• Helps maintain a tight seal and prevent oil leaks
• Ensures even clamping across the spool valve
• Exact OEM spec (M6 x 55mm flange bolts)
⚠️ Why These Bolts Fail
• Installed at a slight angle on the block
• Limited visibility during removal/installation
• Socket doesn’t fully seat → leads to rounding
• Heat cycles and oil exposure weaken the hardware
Even careful installs can go sideways if the socket isn’t perfectly aligned.
🛠️ When to Replace Them
• When replacing the spool valve assembly
• During VTEC troubleshooting or repair
• Anytime the original bolts show rounding, bending, or resistance
📦 What’s Included
• (3) Genuine OEM Honda flange bolts
• Part number: 95701-06055-08
💡 Element DIY Tip
Take your time getting the socket fully seated before turning these. Because of the angle and tight access, it’s easy to think you’re on it when you’re not.
If they don’t come out clean, don’t fight them—replace them.
⚠️ Note
