Hi all, having some trouble sourcing a valve cover gasket for my D16A8 in my EG Civic.

I've found gaskets to suit a D16A1 and was wondering if they're compatible?

Thanks in advance!

i didnt actually bother to look into which engine it was sorry, but now that i have looked at the engine you have and its alternative i reckon the d16a1 will fit.

because they are a budget engine they are gonna share the same parts, even all the B series vtecs used the same valve cover gaskets, b18c5 usdm b18c jdm b18c7 audm. all the same

Have an ask at your local Bursons. They should stock some up. Tell them the engine or car is an import and they will look more in depth. Thats what happend to me, they sent me a wrong gasket as well.
