questions on replacing oil pan gasket
95 lx sedan, f22b2 with 244K miles
I bought the car a couple months ago and I've been cleaning it up and fixing the MANY oil leaks the car has (bought it from some ricer kid and he did alot of dumb ****) The oil pan has a couple golf ball sized dings in it and the gasket is leaking pretty bad, so i got a new oil pan and new gasket. I did some research and some people say use hondabond, some people say use super glue, some say if you clean the surface real good you don't need to use any extra sealant.
I have that coper spray gasket (i'm pretty sure i shouldn't use that)
I also have some super glue and industrial strength adhesive, but no gasket sealer -____-
So, should I use some adhesive on the gasket or just put it on without it?

Clean and dry the oil pan mating surfaces. Honda suggests using a liquid gasket: part number: 08718-0001 or 08718-0003, evenly to the oil pan mating surface of the block and to the inner threads of the bolt holes. I suppose you could use a commercially available liquid gasket of medium strength too if you can't get this gasket liquid recommended by Honda. If you want to do the job right though order that part number from a Honda parts site. Your going to want to apply this liquid gasket to the entire perimeter just inside the bolts holes of the pan.
Then install the oil pan with a new gasket.
Tighten the bolts in two or three steps in a criss-cross type pattern. You don't have to kill them, in the final tightening sequence tighten all bolts to 8.7 lbf-ft of torque.

Just get the oil pan gasket from Honda. It's not that expensive.
I use a 1/4" drive rachet with a 10mm socket and hold the rachet at the head and lightly tighten the bolts down in a criss-cross pattern like James said. I don't know who would use glue for gaskets, but it's totally retarded. And you're suppose to use some Hondabond on the ribbed areas on the oil pan gasket. Tighten the gasket down too tight will cause it to leak.
