whats up guys yesterday i went to brooklyn :vtec:and hit a big A$$ pot hole now Iam leaking oil. The oil pan is fine but the gasket is leaking and I cant find where i can get the oil pan gasket from I checked majestic honda but it doesn't show me a gasket any body got a link where I can buy one from

 

[jdmcoupe]

Nobody knows. Maybe I should just use gasket maker

 

[jdmcoupe]

does it even have a gasket on it ( it looks like some type of silicone on it)

 

[GETxERxDONE]

not all pans use gaskets. some just use some silicone stuff. we used this stuff at the shop.

 

[jdmcoupe]

yeah i got that f it I guess thats what i have to use thanks GetXerXDone

 

[midnitesi]

for the record...no k series has an official gasket...honda uses hondabond...and i think 2.5 tubes for the si.....just squeeze all around the lip and make sure there is alot all around and then mount

 

[GETxERxDONE]

no prob man, just clean off all the old stuff first either with a razor blade or wire brush. hopefully the pan didnt bend. but just put a bead around the whole thing and itll do its job.

 

[The Power of Dreams]

Use Hondabond. If possible, don't use anything but. 1 tube is more than enough. You won't even use half of it.

 

[midnitesi]

no i worked at honda and we used 2.5 tubes...but not 3...and no less than 2

 

[GETxERxDONE]

how big are the tubes?

Well, I'm not sure what size tubes you have...

I just did an oil pan on a K24 on an 05 Accord, and I've also done a head and block replacement on a K20Z3 on an 08 Si, including re-sealing the oil pan because I had to remove it for a reason, and sealing the timing chain case. In both cases, I used way less than 1 tube of Hondabond. I appreciate your experience, but that's not possible. In fact, the senior tech next to me...lol...you should have seen his eyes when I told him you used nearly 3 tubes of Hondabond for an oil pan.

 

[jdmcoupe]

lol yeah I think thats way too much hondabond thanks guys ur the best!!!

 

[jdmcoupe]

is there a specfic way to torque down the bolts and does it need a certain order

 

[Garuda]

make sure not to use too much...a piece of it could fall off and get picked up in the oil.

 

[GETxERxDONE]

:yeahthat:

and the only tubes i can think of that midnitesi is using is the tiny ones that comes with some new parts

but still i dont see how he used over 2 tubes of any size.

the bolts shouldnt need torqued but just do like the middle and work your way out.

 

[jdmcoupe]

iam done with the oil pan but now it seem that I have 2 leaks , the oil filter. Iam about to take the oil filter off and just look around for anything weird like an extra seal on filter or a crack or something .

 

[jdmcoupe]

:think:if anybody know i good reason the oil filter is leak let me know

 

[midnitesi]

double gasketed...or not on properly....and we were told to use 2 + tubes to make sure theres no leaks...and we had this tool that we would run on the inside of the oil pan and it would create a bevled edge as to not squeeze inside teh oil pna and possibly break off...thats how i was tought....
