I'm putting a dx head on a 95 cx and I'm using an ex head gasket. Do I need any other sealant on that gasket when I install? Thanks.

 

did you blow up my old D15?

 

When i did my head gasket, used copper gasket spray. Seemed to work good, havent run car yet though

Just fills in so you have a better seal.

 

can i ask why you are using the ex head gasket? arent the water passages different for the vtec block? also, use RTV on the valve cover gasket in the corners

 

Josh, the motor I got from you was trashed after I took it apart to figure out how a motor works. The head was shot. How's your tranny?

I thought I could use an ex gasket on a dx/cx block I'll double check.

RTV, not honda bond?

 

**** honda bond is expensive and pointless. RTV works fine.

Is copper spray pretty common? Do they carry that at normal parts stores?

 

Should I bolt down the head without any sealant? How about the intake manifold gasket? Any sealant there? Thanks.

 

i didnt use any sealant for either when i put my mini me on, of course it didnt work, so i cant tell you if this is how its supposed to be done. BTW it didnt work becuase of valve adjustment, not becuase i didnt use sealant

 

you need to use RTV sealant i believe, get a haynes manual.

 

dont use any sealant on headgaskets,intake maifold gaskets
there not made for it, use rtv,hondabond on rubber gaskets like valve covers,cam plugs,oilpans
