Hondabond will work better than superglue...

Make sure to use the right torquing sequence from the Helms manual and only torque to 9-ft/lbs. Otherwise the gasket can distort and/or leak.

sorry if this doesn't apply for acuras...I've got a honda and considering the oil pan gasket change myself and through my searching it looks like you can get away with just loosening the exhaust downpipe (instead of removing the whole exhaust header).

Do you need to harass a member for using the search engine? :a:

Optimus... I would plan on removing the header entirely rather than wrestle with the B-pipe flange bolts. There are more steps, but it is still faster to just yank the whole header.

From personal experience, the B-pipe flange bolts are a pain to work with. Listen to TheOtherDave. Be sure to purchase a new OEM exhaust manifold gasket at the same time.

Edit: And a donut gasket for the mating surface between the b-pipe and cat. converter.
