Default Leaky Vtec solenoid

I had my HX motor rebuilt a couple of months ago. It started to leak around the Vtec solenoid, I replaced the spoon filter that include a oring like gasket for the Vtec solenoid assembly. At first, I didn't use any sealant but it continued to leak, I used a little RTV sealant the second time around. It still leaks. The distribtor oring was replaced and its bone dry. The three bolts that holds the solenoid is plenty tight and if I tighten any more I probably pull the threads out from the cyclinder head. Any suggestions?
