ADRONICUS

Well I just got back from Goodyear to have my oil changed. (i don't like the mess) and it was brought to my attention that I have seapage. Not yet a class one leak, but the price would be 230 to repair. I thought that was a little high to change out a gasket. So I thought I would check with you guys and see if I should do that or just buy the hasket from Acura and do it my self. Thanks in advance...

not hard....just lots of bolts.

gotta take off your header, then a poop load of bolts like LT said, put the new gasket on. Pretty simple.

That is about the amount I was quoted for the job. I did it myself in an hour and a half and paid $20 for the new gasket. You may also need to remove the front and rear engine stiffeners and flywheel cover to get at the last 3 bolts holding the oilpan on. The worst part is trying to get the gasket to stay in one place when you are putting the pan back on.

It's not that difficult.

use a little dab of superglue on the corners. works like a charm.

I hate having to move shit around to do one thing. But oh well, I'm not going to pay some chump 230 for what I can do for 20. Thanks guys,

I'd rather use hondabond than superglue, or some sort of silicone gasket maker/sealant.

ADRONICUS

I'll get either or, using superglue sounds like a good idea, but it is a household product. If I were gonna do that I would just use a real good booger.

i concur. i use hondabond on any rubber gasket i put in my car.
