Replacing Oil Pan Gasket on 98 Honda Accord EX VTec 4Cyl
Hello, Group:
When you replace the oil pan gasket for this make/model, do I need to also replace the oil pan? I have some leaking from the gasket area of the pan, so I'm trying to take the easiest way out. Also, are there any tutorials on the Internet to do this job? Thanks, --TJ |

Actually, the mechanic said I need to replace the pcv valve. This
does require removing the transmission, correct? --TJ On Jan 25, 4:01 pm, jim beam > wrote: > wrote: > > Hello, Group: > > > When you replace the oil pan gasket for this make/model, do I need to > > also replace the oil pan?

Be 100% sure that the leak is indeed the gasket seal. I did this on a
95 Accord and it was a pain. Try what the other posters have mentioned and tighten the bolts a bit before going through with the change. I have a slight leak on our 99 Accord now and am still thinking if I want to go through and do this myself or pay someone to do it because of how much time my first change took me.

No, replacing the PCV valve is very easy on most Hondas and kinda tough on some, though. It appears very easy for yours, per http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...R EATHER+TUBE See the following for help (manuals and/or illustrations with changing the oil pan gasket and PCV valve). http://www.honda.co.uk/car/owner/workshop.html (Try the 96 Accord manual) www.autozone.com bkhondaparts.com for illustrations. For the breather tube, click on "Display all," read down. Buy only an OEM PCV valve. Should cost under $25 at your dealer. I would be surprised if the oil pan was not mating properly to the engine block yada surface, but I guess it could happen. I think the leakage would be way worse if the pan were this deformed. Maybe buy one of those cheapo, small range, torque wrenches at Harbor Freight to torque the oil pan nuts to spec. This is what I used on my 91 Civic a few years ago when I did the oil pan gasket. I'd be checking around the distributor's bottom for signs of leakage, too. The camshaft penetrates the distributor housing, and there's a seal or two where it does. They are known to need replacement every five years or so. Google this newsgroup for more info. |
