How does this happen? blown gasket
Check this out...how does this happen?! This is on a boosted 3rd gen prelude.
Straight t3, walbro, dsm injectors, tial wg, FMIC, 2.5 inch dp/exhaust, tuned on crome 6psi
Thoughts?
TIA

thats a shitty gasket to begin with.
get the OEM 3-layer stainless metal gasket or mr. gasket has a nice copper exhaust manifold gasket that works really well especially if your manifold flange is warped.

hmmm.......it doesn't look like a honda gasket.........but i never had a 3'rd gen lude apart before so i guess it could be.
just get a new gasket.....make sure the manifold flange is clean. and make sure its not to badly warped. and try torquing the nuts down evenly....
I'm using a copper exhaust manifold gasket made by mr. gasket that works great.....had it for 4-5 years and reused it over and over again. it never leaks.

i replaced it with a new one from honda, we'll see what happens i guess...
i don't get how it tore the holes for the studs, and moved to block the port like it did...see how its all black? It moved under the friking manifold...a leak i could see but the whole thing moving like it did?

Re: (planeman01)
sounds like maybe the nuts may have worked themselves loose over time causing the gastet to move/distroy itself.....
try some lockwashers if you can fit them?

i dont know about others
but that picture right there shows the gasket inproperly installed
how the **** are the ports marked on the gasket with black stuff when is properly installed
u can even tell, they made new holes to make it fit
i bet ya thats a B series or D series gasket
go home boy and buy a real gasket and the right onw from the engine
stop posting stuff like this and take our time when it was not done right to begin with

that was either incorrectly installed, or the gasket was just a gasket incorrectly makked and the honda dealer didn;t catch it when they gave it to you.
either way, before you install the manifold back, check the holes and ensure the gasket isn;t covering the th hols up. if it covers that much still, something is wrong with the gasket, or your getting parts for the wrong motor.

Re: (mike93eh)
thats is for sure not a stock gasket, did u use the locking bolts? if they came loose, that would definatly mess it up. Happened to my wastegate gasket, looked the exact same way.

ok dudes-
i did not use a gasket for another motor
i did not make new holes to make it fit
it is an OEM BRAND NEW GASKET
it fit perfectly when i put it on. the pressure or somthing made it move and tear like that.
I'd run a copper one if they were availible for the b20A (A! not b or z) this is a 90 PRELUDE!
I'm not a hack trying to half *** here
