i changed mine last weekend. it isnt that bad, just take ur time. you dont need to lube anything, just clean off all of the old gasket, wipe out the pan and put the new gasket on. make sure u scrap the old gasket off before you put the new one on. you do have to drop the header and a small fly wheel cover to access all of the oil pan bolts.

 

My bf just changed the oilpan gasket on my Si. Don't forget to Hondabond the curved parts of the gasket on both sides. Also, it's important not to overtorque the bolts. Too tight is not good.

 

Thanks guys I think ill attempt it and see how it goes. The info was definately helpful. ill let ya know how it went!

 

subscribe becuz i have to change mine soon. interested to hear how hard it is and what all you did.

 

I just did mine yesterday since it had a little leak. Simple if you remove the splash guard and A-pipe (downpipe in my case) completely.

 

Mines is leaking too on my turbo setup . But i recently got it replaced my dumb mechanic. The gasket he used was blue and now it is leaking again. Im gonna bring mines to a acura mechanic. So schmoo just remove the downpipe rright??

 

Why should I help you? Last time I did, you rubbed it in my face. That is great that mommy and daddy buy you all your parts and pay for your labor since you are too pathetic to do it yourself, but that gives you no right to cut me down especially considering how much I helped you out. Show a little humility and I might think about helping you in the incredibly far distant future.

 

steve im sorry bro . i did not rub on you. If you felt that. im very sorry. i appreciate all your excellent help. This oil is pissing me off and the worse. So what you think of the blue gasket. Is that oem or no? I pay for all my parts and labor. i do most work but im lazy to deal with it.

 

Oem oilpan gaskets are black dude.

 

damn my gasket is blue. This can be why this shit is leaking.
