I have 2 question.

First question is, how do i get the gasket off the block. It seems to be as if it's glued on. I got most of it off, but there are still little pieces stuck on there.

Second question is, are the 99-00 si gasket same as the 92 jdm b16a.

TIA.

 

u have to use a flat head screw driver to get it off.gently and then u need to resurface the area. and yes 99-00 civic si intake manifold gasket will fit jdm's

 

i tried the flat head method. Did't work. I was thinking of using wd40, but i dont know if that would be safe or not.

 

putty knife worked pretty good for me.

i just wipe mine with wet papertowels to wet the gasket, then scrape with a putty knife. worked pretty good, just have to be careful not to get anything in the intake ports.

 

Alright. im going to wet it and see what would happen.

Thanks for the info.

 

and yea, I stuff the ports with newspaper so that it clogs it pretty well, and then after scraping a vacuum off everything just to make sure nothing got in there. but if all of this doesn't work for you, heh, good luck

 

put a clean rag by the block and spray it with wd40 then scrape it off
my $0.02

 

I wouldn't advise using a screwdriver or putty knife since they can scratch the mating surfaces. I just use carb cleaner, a shop rag, and an old credit card. It does a great job, and the surfaces look pristine.

 

Auto parts stores also sell gasket remover for like $4 a can... don't know how well they work, but I've also seen gasket scraper tools that may be better than a putty knife. It's all about the right tools
