Just to make double sure

The Hondata heatshield gasket for the K24A2 fits the K24A3...right?:confused:

PM appreciated

I got a free one 12 months ago havent fitted it yet. Not sure how hard/long it is to fit.

I guess it will do something...

One thing, when you buy stuff from the US, DO NOT buy K24A3 parts. Their K24A3 is the equivalent to our K24A1! So stick to K24A2.

Which P2R are you using? If it the one for the TSX which you put between the intake manifold and the injector bank, then make sure you get longer studs before you change them.

It sits between the intake manifold and injector base. So it is the one your talking about.
Just wondering what size studs would be suitable as i am unsure on sizing atm.

I can't remember. I stripped 1 stud, pulled it out and then brought it to an auto parts shop to find a longer replacement. I replaced both with longer ones and no problem after. I think you need longer studs for the TB spacer as well since that uses 2 gaskets and the aluminium spacer.

yeh, i am only going to run 1 gasket on the TB.
and wondering if you know where i can find the assembly diagrams of the head, Eur003act posted to me before but i must've deleted his post by accident.

& the opening ceremony got boring..... *sigh* soo much lighting

You need 2 gaskets unless you are able to reuse the old gasket. If you have the spacer contact a metal surface directly, you won't get a good seal and it will leak.

Look in his thread. I posted up the valvecover removal diagram. I think it has the intake manifold and throttle body in it as well.
