I am replacing the Oil Pan Gasket on my 1996 Honda Accord LX 4dr Sedan (F22B2). I have read the various postings which state to use the Honda Bond (Sparingly). The Gasket that I purchased is a NAPA PermaDry. It states on the box not to use chemical adhesives. Should I return the NAPA Gasket and purchase the Honda OEM with the Honda Bond; use the Honda Bond on the PermaDry gasket or just use the PermaDry gasket as is? Thanks

 

I have never used the permadry gasket so i could not advice you properly ,, but for as cheap as a Honda factory gasket is ( $ 25) i would use it , I know that it is going to fit correctly ,, also instead of Honda bond you ca use Ultra Flange sealer ,, it is basically the same as Honda bond but cheaper ..and as the post states just use a bit of it on the small sides ( the flat and the round ) only, on both sides of the gasket , nothing on the long sides ..
