Product Description
A Honda K-series VTC (Variable Timing Control) gasket is a small, vital filter and sealing component, often called the VTC Filter Gasket (part number 15845-RAA-A01), located on the intake side of the cylinder head. Its primary function is to filter oil before it reaches the VTC actuator, ensuring proper oil flow and pressure for the system to control cam timing. A clogged or damaged VTC gasket can cause loss of oil pressure, leading to engine performance issues, sluggish power, and the dreaded P2646/P2647 "VTEC system performance" diagnostic trouble codes. It is a genuine Honda OEM part designed to be a direct replacement for K20 and K24 engines from 2002-2015.
