Good quality part overall.
Part working fine however auto tech had to change the O-ring on it. The O-ring that came with part was too thin and didn't make a proper snug seal. Changed O-ring and all was fine.

VVT Solenoid
VVT Solenoid arrived quickly, well packaged, looked identical to original part. The old part took a little effort to remove, but after loosening a couple bolts on the power steering pump, I had just enough clearance to slide old part out and new one in. Probably 30 minute job at most. Thanks to 1AAuto for all the video tutorials.
