Well I just bought an 1987 Honda CRX. I bought it non running for cheap. I now know it needs 4 intake valves, headgasket set, etc etc. I am running into this problem. I would like to use a Fel Pro gasket set. However they ask was it made in Japan or Canada? Well according to my VIN it says made in Japan. Well there is a little white sticker inside the doorjam that says Canada. Hate to order the wrong set, I have no clue what the difference is. Maybe someone has gone through this before. Here is my VIN. JHMEC1322HS001925. So what matters more, the VIN or the white sticker in the doorjam? When you go through http://www.autozone.com it says " Canada Emissions" or "Japan Emissions". Others just say Canada or Japan? Any help is welcomed, thanks for reading!!


PS. Can someone confirm by the VIN and the Engine pic if this is a DX? The VIN says it is, just wanting to make sure. The back of the car doesnt say anything.

 

If it's a DX it won't say anything, so you're probably right on that one. From my uderstanding they only marked the HF and SI models.

 

Oh my god your engine bay... Clean it, clean it!!! I CANT LOOK AT IT ANYMORE!! AAAGGHHHHHHHH

I will give them a call Monday and see what they say, but I doubt they sell eveything in one kit, and thats what I need.
