sup everyone, im about to change my oil pan gasket and was wondering if i have all the parts needed.



thanks..

 

i'd use a lil honda-bond too.

 

hey sup, so do i have the right gasket and bolts? are there any other nuts or bolts?? how much does hondabond cost anyways? thanks for the response man.

did any nuts come with the kit? because there's 2 studs in the block already so you'll need some nuts for that.

 

hondabond should be no more than 8 bucks a tube

 

Let me know how it goes, I have to do this in a few weeks, mine is
leaking pretty bad. Good luck

 

sup again everyone, i was looking on hondaautomotiveparts.com and saw there were some extra nuts (part#41). theres like 6 nuts. how many nuts/bolts does this oil pan take lol. thanks.

oh btw, the hondabond stuff, do i just ask them for "hondabond" or is it called something else?

-L

 

just ask them for honda bond, there should be only 2 nuts, and the rest should be bolts

 

dang, once i removed the oil pan, the old gasket was so mushed. i literally had to chisel the old one off. all the sides have uneven surfaces now! im afraid to put on my new gasket because there might be a chance of a leak. how can i remove all this excess gasket?

Maybe take a dremel with a wire brush attachment. Or maybe sand paper? Haven't done this one yet, but it shouldn't be to difficult.

 

woo hoo just got done changing the gasket. getting to it was the easy part. the worse part is taking off the old gasket. had to dremel that **** off! i ended up using some rtv silicone sealant. just got back from a test drive and all went well. if anybody has any questions about changing the gasket, let me know.

time for a shower!

So did the dremel and wire brush attachment work? Just would like to know for a future reference.

 

where did you buy the gasket and nuts and bolts? my oil pan is leaking too and i think that might be the problem. can i get these supplies from a honda dealership?

 

whats up guys. i ended up using the dremel w/ some kind of a sander thingy. i bought the gasket at kragen for around 24 bucks. the bolts were like 8 dollars and the nuts were like 1.50. i have no more leaking oil at all

 

Nice good work

 

my only add-on advice is to make sure the oil pan is level-- check it with a straight edge. I replaced my gasket once and it still leaked, ended up taking it back off and pounding it out straight.

 

or something similar

 

greyout,

how effective is that gasket remover spray? do you use it to remove the pieces of stuck on gasket/gunk?

diluted,

1) what other parts did you have to remove to remove the oil plan (downpipe, etc).

2) how long did it take you?

3) did you have any problems reaching any of the nuts?
