I did some research and everyone said to go with the 91 nsx for a 1st gen jdm b16. I finally took off the solenoid and the old gasket is flatter and squarish and the new one i got is rounder. When i put the new one in, theres a tiny bit of space as you can see from the pic below. Is this gonna be a problem? Should i use the new one and just use alot of hondabond? or stick with the old one?

old, new


new one


old one

 

My guess is that your old gasketis just compressed from age. The new one should work fine. You can honda bond it too if you like.

 

You should be fine unless where the point is on the first gasket "<" in the first pic, it looks like thers a crack inbetween the 2, if so, put honda bond, if not , you should be cool.

yea the old gasket has a couple of tiny rips and the screen was out of place also.

 

The main difference I see is the old one has been
bolted down and compressed..

The new one is still round and the old one is kinda squashed...

I just used permatex ultra-gray on the old gasket on my friends
car.. The gasket was still soft but it was leaking bad.

 

well, i just used the new one and hondabonded it.
