Hi guys, I've posting on other sites that don't seem to want to help.

I have a 2000 EX bone stock with a stock D16Y8 (auto) at 175,000 miles

I'm trying to stop my continual oil leaks in my car, I have already replaced the front and rear main seals (which I don't think were bad to begin with)

I have replaced the VC Gasket and stopped the leak from there.

I have noticed that I have oil leaking from my head gasket. I am only leaking oil, no coolant. I have no white or blue smoke, it's juts a pain in the *** oil leak.

I want to replace the head gasket and I have the top end gasket kit from HPN (PN 06110-P2P-A00) I want to replace my the head bolts that hold the head to the block but I can't decipher the part number for the correct bolts.

Can someone tell me the PN of the correct head bolts so I can get them ordered?

Here's a link to HPN and PN details... Honda Parts Now

#18 in the picture, buy 10 of them.

Are you sure you're leaking from the HG, or are you leaking from the distributor O-ring? A lot of people mistake the oil coming from O-ring for the head gasket.

I thought too, at first...

I sprayed the engine down with super clean and pressure washed it, waited about a week to see what was "wet' with oil. Distributor area was clean, front of the head was clean (between VC and Head Gasket) but below the head (starting at the gasket) was wet with new oil, down near the front of the engine where the serial number is.

Thanks man, I assumed those were VC bolts

Yeah this is super common, I've had lots of customers think the same thing but what happens is the oil leaks out from the dizzy gasket/o-ring and then runs down to and along the little gap between the head and block. But if you're sure that its the head gasket then that would be correct, #18 in the schematic. Just make sure to torque them correctly!

I would just double check this cause after a week oil can run a lot of places...

crash!

That seems to be a somewhat common area to leak for HGs. That's where mine has a slight leak too.
I don't think it would be an awful idea to copper spray the gasket for extra sealing in that one corner...

The entire distributor area is dry as a bone and I pressure washed the engine about 3 weeks ago now.

Yeah, I plan on using something more than just the gasket itself
