Okay I'm doing a mini me soon (ZC w/ Y8 head), and I'll be putting on my DCSports header at the same time. So I need to order some parts from Honda and I wanna make sure I get them all.

-Intake manifold gasket
-Exhaust manifold gasket
-Downpipe gasket
-Timing belt (for Y8)
-Head gasket (for Y8)

Is that all I'll need that I can order from Honda?

 

Valve cover gasket set, water pump

 

I actually just replaced my valve cover gasket, can I still use it with the new head? Is the water pump nessesary?

 

I am not sure about the valve cover gasket but you should change the water pump since it is easy while the timing belt is off. Plus it is better to change it now to avoid problems down the road since the water pump is a pita to change when the engine is in the car.

 

Thanks guys. If someone knows for sure if I can keep the valve cover gasket I have now, lemme know!
