I switched an oil pan and reused the gasket. All surfaces were very clean.

I used hondabond on the surfaces. Does anyone think this will affect anything? Positively or negatively?

If it does it's not a big deal, I'll get a new one.. I just would like to hear a couple thoughts on this.

No leaks so far. It's been two days.

 

Nope, ive had friends use it with no problems...i think its pretty common to do so.

 

I was told by a technician at Honda to put Hondabond on my oilpan gasket. You will be fine.

As long as the gasket is still soft. I only put the hondabond ant the flanges of the oil pump and the rear main cover as the helms recomends

 

not supposed to, only apply where helms indicates. excess hondabond will get into oil pick up screen.

 

98+ 4cyl accords don't even have an oilpan gasket, it just gets glued on with hondabond. you should be fine

yah.. I really think it is fine. The transmissions are also sealed with it, so I don't know how there could be a problem. Some nissans (like the skyline) do not have oil pan gaskets either..
