Default Throttle Body Gasket. Can I just silicone the outside edge?

I ******* searched today, 4 stores. Not one place had a ******* gasket for a Crx

I dunno, think other years will fit to correct? But whatever. Ive got some spare blue gasket silicone type **** here and I want to know if I can use that only?

Also Ive never seen a t/b gasket before, is it just a square going only around the outside with the bolt holes cut out or does it go into all the little contours n ****?

What would I have to silicone

Thanks

like I said Ive never seen a t/b gasket for a Honda

Does it just go over the outside or does it cover everything and just the intake bore is cut out? Or are all these little grooves cut out.....

Know what Im saying

You can do that or you can use hi-temp rtv silicone gasket maker (hondabond).

You have to get it at the dealer.
I would not recomend honda bond or anything like that. The MAP passage needs to be sealed right and I don't think you can do it with H-B type of product.

it's moronic to use RTV when a paper gasket that costs maybe a couple of bucks more will do the job right.
Get the damn gasket. Your Honda dealer sells it for sure, it will work the way it was designed to work and that's the end of it.
