Lololololol I work for Frank and TAS.

[@BigDog50001]

For those of you thinking of doing this job, as a general rule for most of these older Honda Civics you only use the Hondabond (or gray RTV sealant) at the 4 corner spots where the oil pan follows contours of the crank (although there are some 1996-2000 engine variations where Honda recommends applying it all the way around the pan). Just remember, if you do put sealant all the way around, it will not be any fun getting it off the next time. Install pan within 5 minutes of applying Hondabond. Bolts and nuts on pan should be torqued to 9 ft lbs. As a general rule, tighten the fasteners in a criss cross pattern (going back and forth across pan) starting from center of pan and work your way out to the edges. Finger tight first, then go around and gently snug them up in sequence, then do final torque sequence. The last four bolts torqued will be near the Hondabond you applied. Honda recommends replacing the exhaust manifold gasket whenever you remove it (no need for any sealant on it). Wait at least 30 minutes from the time you applied Hondabond before you fill vehicle with oil. Hope this helps someone.

[@tmst2199]

Does the RTV go on top of the gasket, bottom, or both at the corners?

[@Rrrakanishu]

I was wondering about torque value. Older civics from what I understand are notorious for oil pan gasket leaks. Thanks for the info.

11 years later and this video is the best one I've seen in a while. Hopefully no leaks when I start it up tomorrow lol

[@jaysog4885]

Just did this job on my 95 civic. Job was allot more frustrating than expected. Mainly because the gasket had to be stock and never changed. Was literally fused to the pan. Didn't have many tools and was lucky to find what i did. Luckily had an air compressor to get a piece off the exhaust off to drop the pan. The only other trouble was putting the dust cover back on but eventually figured it out. Hopefully this has fixed my small oil leak. Saw the 941 on your shirt. I'm in same area lol. Thanks

[@Nthefastlane]

I know to put the rtv on the u's but i didnt have the spay sealant on hand and chose to double it up...guarintee it wont leak a drop. I've been building pleanty of engines and I'm real picky about leaking oil.I don't like the honda rubber gaskets at all, that's why I double the sealant on both sides, I never have to go back and do it a second time.

[@Kicker2500]

Wowww man your civic is in great shape :) rare to see them with no rust

[@Nthefastlane]

Thanks man, well I hope it goes smoothly for you!

[@osmarrodriguez2840]

Had to do an oil pan and gasket change on my 2002 mitsubishi eclipse and even though they're different cars, this video helped out allot!! Thank you NtheFastlane for posting helpful videos!!

[@Nthefastlane]

I always use rtv just to guarantee that I wont have to do the job twice but it's not a must. I would check around where the transmission meets the block, alot of times the rear main seal goes bad and leaks motor oil also.

[@MyAnonymous2000]

I'm not sure you'll see this. I couldn't tag you. So it's common to see a leak at the rear seal when doing to oil pan. I have a Honda Accord DX 99. Any issues when doing to pan of disturbing the rear seal or another seal. It sounds like mainly you need to use caution to tighten evenly and not overtighten so as to make the gasket start to come out while doing it, correct?

[@rigorocks23]

ive been working on hondas for 10+ years. if you only apply hondabond or rtv to the 4 corners like the manuals state, its going to leak oil lol. i apply rtv as this gentleman did in this video

[@jessehighley2298]

thx for all the advice. I'm following it step by step with the video. I'm trying to get my daughter's first car all fixed and ready to go. you're saving me a lot of money. them spring bolts for the exhaust are really hard, but I finally got it. thx again man

Awesome details man! Perfect. Carry on. I will need more for DIY. Thanks.

[@dem1177]

thanks for this vid! it really is a big help when i worked on my ek yesterday! its my first time to do this which took me 5hrs to change a new oil pan gasket and valve cover gasket..i also found out that one bracket holding the transmission to the engine block is missing.. im just not sure if its the same for manual and automatic but its definitely similar to the brackets you removed.. one other note though, is that i didnt have to completely remove the exhaust pipe b rather just unbolt it from the exhaust manifold (and the bracket) so that i can lower it a bit just enough to pull down the oil pan. I made sure to put some block or something for the exhaust pipe to lean on so that the rubber in the middle wont brake off from hanging freely. this save me some time i guess.. Great information and thanks!!!

[@Emperor_1971]

How that hold up after your did it does it still leak after a few days or good ? I been having issues doing this still leak gonna try your method next time

[@bruceleemannypacquia]

very good video... explained thoroughly and every step shown! thank you so much .. keep making videos!

[@brownhistorymonth]

Here's my thing. I'm just going to replace the whole pan. It's leaking from the gasket but who ever had my brother in laws car before must have tried and broke a nut that holds the pan. so I figured instead of wondering if they damaged the pan Im just going to replace the whole thing. But Im glad to know is the same procedure. Thanks Man. Great video by the way

[@Kamikazee011]

Thanks for this video! I really like the whole presentation of this video.

[@Nthefastlane]

Thank you! It was a friends.

[@derpherpp]

what kind of air compressor do you have? i really like it, and make the job a little bit easier and more less strength on me

[@Nthefastlane]

Thanks!

[@sesarman]

good stuff, is the seal really necessary on the exhaust gasket? and should i check anything else if i have a major leak while changing the oil pan gasket? or should i just wait and see if that will stop the leak?

[@mariocordelli1672]

not all exhaust manifolds are the same throughout eg/ek single cams. I had a 97 d16 and the exhaust manifold had a cat conv. on the headers. I guess it varies with trim levels possibly? or OBD?

[@Reprezin]

Great video. I followed every step for my 92 civic and seems to be working fine. Only problem - after replacing the oil pan gasket, spark plugs, ignition wires, cap and rotor, white smoke seems to be coming from the exhaust manifold. Could it be from the high-temp gasket maker I used?

[@Nthefastlane]

Yes, im sure by now you don't see any more smoke.

[@tmst2199]

What happens when you remove the 4 12mm bolts? Do these fasten the dust cover which has to be removed in order to get to the 10mm bolts in the corners of the pan?

[@Nthefastlane]

+T Mst It's been a while, but I believe that is correct.

[@eric31291]

dude i never subscribe, but imma subscribe cause you give great advice, i just pulled my engine out 98 civic, but i dont feel comftorable changing the pan gasket and then letting the weight of the engine rest on the pan, would you suggest i put the engine back on the car and then change the pan gasket?

[@Nthefastlane]

It's completely fine to drop the engine down on it's pan, just slowly set it down on the pan and slide a piece of wood where the pan goes higher, slide it up under there and it'll keep the engine level.

[@5eZa]

D-series engines are super light.

[@VeryCoolJeep]

Thank you man. I will be doing that today :)

[@pellergin]

Thanks for the video. By the way, many advise against coating the entire surface with RTV. For that one you're working, Haynes manuals suggests applying a layer of RTV to the 4 points before and after the gasket is going downward to form the 'U' shape, similar to a Honda B engine valve cover gasket.

[@MichaelWLam]

So, let me get this straight. If I buy a new pan, and a new gasket. I would ONLY apply hondabond on the U's of the pan before the gasket is placed. Then once more along the U's, on top of the gasket. Then place and screw, correct? So far everyone says line the entire pan with hondabond/rtv, then place gasket, then put another layer on top of the gasket...

[@FliesLikeABrick]

@@MichaelWLam The instructions are slightly different for the different engines available in the 6th generation hondas. For the D16Y7 and B16A2, you apply 4 points of hondabond or RTV at the little seams on the bottom of the engine block where the site pieces (right side cover and oil pump) mount on, since those seams can form a leakage path over the gasket. That is all for the B16A2 since it has a completely flat gasket. For the D16Y7, you also apply Hondabond or RTV where the curves around the crankshaft make a corner -- between the gasket and the oil pan (much like the 4 points it gets applied when installing the D16Y7 valve cover gasket). Those are the only 8 points that should get Hondabond or RTV on the D16Y7 engines. There are a couple other engines in the 6th generation civic which get a line of RTV on a few specific areas of the oil pan to mate to the gasket without leaks (D16Y5 and D16Y8) -- those have a contoured gasket with more features, not the flat one shown in this video.

[@gork830]

Good video. I've got a '92 VX with stripped threads on the oil pan drain plug hole. So the manifold and exhaust have to come off to get at the oil pan?

[@334cobra]

hey where did your engine stiffeners go? the things that used to be on your flywheel cover?

[@kangmin816]

[@MrOriuk79]

hi what is that part at 15:44 hanging out on the middle and dropping inside oil pan. I just did a 99 cr v and I saw this part with a hole at the end. on the rounded end it had a hole in the middle. any idea as what is the purpose of that part??? thanks

[@benjaminlarson7292]

MrOriuk79 I just replaced my '99 CR-V oil pan gasket with a Perma Dry Fel-Pro gasket. Not supposed to need RTV with this gasket so but it leaks more now than it did with the original gasket. I torqued to 48"lbs from the middle out not sure why it's leaking. Wondering if you had better luck and what type of gasket you used also if you used sealant where the block meets the front and back section of engines (basically the four corners)

[@fasted8893]

Do I have to remove the exhaust to remove the oil pan or it just makes it easier to do it that way. My exhaust bolts are rusted and I don't feel like dealing with that right now

[@PlanningInProgress]

[@kaycar8110]

my gasket was SUPER hard to get off! had to scrap with wire brush and took the paint off but I didn't think it should be that hard. do we need a sealent?

[@decisions139]

To do the oil pan gasket do you have to remove the manifold and dowpipe? Or can you just remove the downpipe? Nice video

[@ddneb]

Cool instructions....keep it up.

[@smallgreentreefrog]

I have a '93 del sol si 1.6 automatic and I'm stuck on what exhaust components to remove to drop the pan. I already tried to get the pan out without touching the exhaust but it won't clear. Exactly what exhaust parts have to be removed to get this to happen and be able to apply the new oil pan gasket? The entire manifold like you are doing or something else by the catalytic converter?

[@Mrn951951]

WhAt is the part that goes into the groove on the drivers side of oil pan? It's white. I think mine is cracked because it is leaking oil..

[@Mustangkid29]

Do you have to take off the exhaust to get to the oil pan?

[@Nthefastlane]

Yes, you have to remove it.

[@stevie_efbabyy]

if im installing the aluminum pan with the gasket that goes into the grove on the pan, do i have to use the rtv?

[@MichaelWLam]

I would like to know this too. I plan on just buying an entirely new pan. Most research suggest all I need to do is put hondabond on the U curves, and that is it?

[@pellergin]

For the O2 sensor, you want to use copper anti-seize, not aluminum anti-seize. I agree with placing RTV all around the gasket, just make sure you have a scraper or a 3m bristle disc on hand. How long did you wait, before turning on the engine?

[@micagas]

Thank you so much bud! this video teached me how to remove mines, ill do soon! so. it helped me, thnkss!

[@scynthiarodriguez5434]

are you using a magnet so you won't drop the bolts?

[@surrellcardoza6086]

wow great video man! 👌👍

[@travisreid5083]

Not sure about the Honda bond on the exhaust manifold. Ive never done that with any Honda ive ever worked on. Not saying it doesn't work but wont the heat from the exhaust exiting the head melt the Honda bond? The gases exiting the head are EXTREMELY HOT.

[@harrisondodge6956]

that's what i was thinking. if you smell burning hondabond, you're putting it in the wrong place. it may be high-temp, but it's still only good for something like 400-500 degrees, nothing like exhaust temps.

[@Nthefastlane]

Travis Reid I use permatex high temp red/orange rtv for exhaust.Works very well.

[@NWRednecktie]

nice video very helpful how ever could of been a little more descriptive. for example how long did you leave that hondabond on there before putting the gasket on and how long was it sitting on the gasket before you put the oil pan back on. i never would of thought that dust guard for the fly wheel off first. i would have broke that shit

Looks like a completely different oil pan. The first one was dented. Curious what was wrong with the first one.

[@Nthefastlane]

The first oil pan, the actual gasket caked-on so hard that it was nearly impossible to break off, even hit it with a hammer and a flat head screwdriver, barely could chisel off the rubber. Literally crystallized to the pan. I had this new extra pan on hand and sold it to him.
