Felpro PermaDrivePlus B-Series Oil Plan Gasket
Between 1989 and 2001, the Honda and Acura B-Series inline-4 engines were available in 1.6L, 1.7L, 1.8L and 2.0L displacements. Found in many vehicles on the road today and a popular engine swap for performance enthusiasts, this family of Dual Overhead Cam (DOHC) engines were the first to feature Honda’s VTEC variable valve timing system. As with any engine, leaks can develop as time and miles go by; the oil pan gasket is a common leak found on the B-Series engines.
In some instances, technicians may try to tighten the oil pan bolts to stop the leak. Instead, this makes matters worse, as the oil pan on these engines have raised dimples that are stamped in the flange to prevent over-compression of the gasket. By tightening the bolts beyond the original torque specification, these dimples may be crushed; this can further squeeze the gasket past its design limits or split the gasket, creating leak paths that worsen the problem.
Replace the problematic gasket with Fel-Pro’s OS 30630 T PermaDryPlus oil pan gasket. Unlike OE-style gaskets for these engines, the Fel-Pro gasket features a rigid, steel-core construction and built-in torque limiters that help eliminate overtightening and gasket splitting and extruding, even in cases when the flange dimples have been deformed.
Featuring a proprietary molded rubber design, the Fel-Pro PermaDryPlus oil pan gasket helps eliminate leak paths, especially in problem corner areas. The one-piece construction is easier to install than multi-piece assemblies and helps reduce the potential for installation errors.
Fel-Pro’s OS 30630 T PermaDryPlus oil pan gasket is an ideal solution for passenger vehicles and performance applications. It works well in high performance and turbocharged applications where oil temperatures and crankcase pressures are higher.
