Hey guys,

I have to replace the head gasket on my wife's CR-V. I am having a problem with locating just the gasket and not a "gasket kit" with main seals and such.

You guys seem to be the only group on the interwebs that actually tear these engines apart. Hopefully you can point me in the right direction. I don't know much about all the Honda engine types or if all the k24 parts are interchangeable across models and years. Or where the best place is to buy parts.

Any suggestions?

I started a thread on the repair over in the cr - V section.

Thanks,

MT

 

Rockauto has the head gasket only for $32. same part as Element, TSX and Accord.

 

Curious as to why the gasket has to be replaced?

 

from his repair thread in the CR-V sub-forum.

 

Cylinders 3 and 4 do not like how engine coolant combusts in them.

Better check how flat the head is. I guarantee its warped. MLS gaskets do not "blow" like older gasket types, they usually leak past a heavily warped surface to have that much contamination.
