im going to use a new pan gasket of course, but do i need to put any kind of spray or hondabond(i dont even know if your could use that on a oil pan)?

 

put like little dabs of honda bond or peramatex gasket maker or whatever it is called to make a secure no leakage hold

 

Most import motors no longer use a pan gasket...use hondabond or permatex silicone gasket sealer is all thats there...

honda etchs told me to only use the gasket, they said it would be a waste to get hondabond. the pan should have like little nipples in it , to make sure it will settle fine .

oh yea torque to 10 ft lbs, any more and youll be looking for a new gasket.

 

Note the the torque spec, but hondabond a waste of money...never a waste of money.

 

be careful when putting the oil pan back on, mine leaks now so I have to take if back off and do it over, make sure you scrap off all your old gasket pieces on the bottom of the motor and on the oil pan itself. good luck

 

to hold on a rubber gaasket it is
i dunno if you knwo what your doing you dont need it for that job, i didnt use it and mine works fine , never leaked.

 

where can you get hondabond?

 

I would assume the Honda dealer. Or you could always try Walmart.

thanks guys.......i have some honda bond laying around, so ill put a light coat of it on.

 

Right on. Make sure you have everything fitted up before you install the pan.

 

keep the gasket as dry as possible
torque down the nuts in a opposite manner, like front right, back left, etc.
