whats it made out of? i'm looking at that rear mount i have to change and i'm almost certain i'll have to remove the entire intake manifold to get at it... so is the gasket reusable?

I know when i took apart my old b18b the gasket was cooked on , so i coudnt re use it, had to scrape the old one off and get a new one.

ah so its not a steel one like the exhaust manifold?

Nope, it felt like it was a hard thin cardboard. It was baked on, unlike the exaust one.

I reused the one on the gf's car...I just used some RTV when I reinstalled it to ensure there were no leaks and 3 years later its still all good

of course every situation is different so when u get to urs u make the call

i'm iffy about even starting this now cause honda isn't open tomorrow... nor napa... i guess crappy tire would have them though...

i guess i'll just buy one and if i dont need it i'll just return it

Yep..that would be my plan of action..head to good ol CT..be prepared to head to a couple stores, if the one closest doesn't stock it.

I'd replace all gaskets as a measure anyways..
