First off, as always, **** honda venezuela.

I have a D16A9 (VDM equivalente to the DOHC ZC) and my exhaust manifold gasket broke a few days ago around cilinder 4. To say the least the noise is terrible and my turbo lags beyond what is posible .

This would be easy to solve IF any honda dealer in caracas had the gasket. But none, and i mean NONE. I have called almost every single one.

I came to thinking how d series headers are interchangable and wanted to know if the exhaust manifold gaskets were too.

Any and all help is greatly apreciated.

 

Leaving for college bump

 

My guess would be yes. I know everyday stuff in the US can cost a lot more in Venezuela (my aunt works over there), but you could by a cheap paper gasket to test fit. then, if it fits, buy an oem one.

 

I was about to say the same thing. Check a paper one. I'd say it'd fit, but it's better to be safe.

 

an 88-89 integra gasket should be the same thing.......

Integra, whats that We never got many of them here.

Anyone now for sure?

 

It's the same gasket for the OBD0 ZC's & 88-89 Teg's. I had a DOHC ZC in my 91 hatch and teh Teg gasket was a perfect fit, so it should still be the same for the OBD1 motors as the exhaust ports didn't move, as far as I know anyhow ....

That is what i think.
