im in the process of putting my throttle body, manifold and dizzy back on my motor
are there any types of sealants i should be using in particular to any of these areas?
i'll be buying new gaskets from honda to replace

i think this may have to be moved to the noob forum

just go in there ans ask for gasket sealent, gearbox sealent, etc, tell them your purpose of use and they will tell you, nut the most common is ultra-grey

no need to use sealents on t/b and IM/EM

for the dizzy, u can use abit of rubber grease on the o-ring

Manifold and throttle body has it own gasket so no need. As samo said, put some rubber grease on the o-ring on the dizzy.
