I dont get exactly what you mean... But i have questions.

1) Do I need to take off the header inorder to change the gasket?
2) So i noticed that theres like a washer inbetween the oil pan and the bolts, is that just it, a washer?
3) And what do you mean by let the oil pan sit for a few hours? Dont you just clean it out with degreaser and let it dry?
4) Do I need to use a gasket sealer for this gasket?
5) So if I take all of those bolts off on the clutch plate shield in order to get to the oil pan bolts, nothing will happen? The engine wont collapse on my head or anything? lol

1)not the header but the mid pipe i did remove (the one connected to the header)
2)ya its that silicone sealant i believe
3)once you seal the oil pan and re-install it then let it sit. and ya u can clean the oil pan out to.
4)ummmm.... i dont remember now but its a cork gasket i believe so it seals by itself but i think you can use silicone/fib to seal it
5)nothing besides that little shield lol its just that half shield held up by 5bolts i think

yeah you can remove just half the header, but sometimes i find it easier to just do the whole header if you cant get just the half off with hand tools

I have hondabond so you dont have to pay 20 friken dollars for a tube of it

yeah that shits expensive, buy it from online sources, buying it from the dealer is rediculous

But you dont need to use sealant do you? Cause I guy said that becuase its a rubber gasket that i wont need it.

 

[Accel.speed]

Ah shit, so I cleaned off everything to see where the leak is coming from, And i dont think the main part is coming from the oil pan gasket. I think some other gasket is blown. I took pictures so hopefully someone can help me!

^this is on the right front side of the vc. This is from above, rest are from below.

^these are the pullys/belts on the driver side. Its in that small spot.

Anyone know what the problem is or what to do?!

 

[00DC2TW]

cant really tell from the pictures, But it also could be the oil pump as well if its down there around the harmonic balancer/crank pulley... also I would use sealant just as a backup, sometimes you put sealant on things even if the job doesnt call for it, especially on high mileage engines

Dave @ import connections

 

[Kinta94]

haha david yeaah. I used to go to him alot im still there every so often. He does great work on cars. usually if I can fix something myself I let him.

But what all are you getting done by him?

 

[hgocasca]

Anything that I want, he is a good personal friend, we just did a valve adjustment, fixed a little problem with the powerband, installed my tower bars, tried to do my header, and he is a miracle worker on these cars, only person besides myself I trust with my car, and his rates.......dirt cheap, quality.........better than the dealership, performance work.........stupid fast, he is the one that had the crVtec

 

[Accel.speed]
