to be pedantically precicse, there are 6 studs that have nuts, and 12 bolts that hold the sump to the block...

The sump gasket is available from Honda, part no. 11251-p30-004 so no need to use sealant.. 10nm/7lb sounds right and just tighten from the centre outward in a criss cross pattern... and the thermostat no. is 19301-p08-316.

no cris cross pattern involved at all...

you might be thinking of maifolds or flywheel bolts?

havent got around to doing this yet.. has been damn hot, and i have been f-ing around with a stereo install.

just got a hold of the 98 integra manual and checked it out, should be the same being a b series (opposed to the d series civic one).

So from that, i should:
rip it the sump off.
Clean it and the block
Apply 10c piece size gasket goo to the 4 lines indicated on the left hand side diagram.
put the gasket on the sump (so the lip things face down).
then tighten the 6 nuts onto the studs finger tight in the order shown
then start from nut 1 and do every nut and bolt to 12nm torque clockwise.

what does 'in three steps' mean though?

and then let it cure for a while..

and then it should be all done?????

also my torque wrench is in cm.kgs
so 8.7 foot pounds is the required torque yeah? so foot pounds * 13.8 = cm.kgs
therefor my setting is 120.06cm.kgs?

i three steps means;

you need to do 3 "laps" of the sump.

ie do NOT do each fastener up to 12Nm on the first go,

maybe 4Nm then 8Nm and then 12Nm on the final lap...

this ensures that the gasket is evenly torqued to the sump...
