Genuine Honda D16 Intake Manifold Gasket (17105-P2F-A02) - 96-00 Civic & 96-97 Del Sol
A leaking intake manifold gasket is one of the most common causes of a rough idle, lean running, or an idle that hangs high, and it's a problem people chase all over the engine before finding it here. This genuine Honda gasket seals the intake manifold to the cylinder head on the D16, and replacing a tired one restores proper sealing, clean idle, and correct fueling. It's the right part whether you're fixing a leak or have the manifold off for any other reason.
The Vacuum Leak Nobody Thinks To Check
Worth understanding, because this gasket is a frequently misdiagnosed problem.
The intake manifold gasket seals the joint between the manifold and the head, and every bit of air your engine breathes passes through that seal. When the gasket hardens and fails over the years, it lets unmetered air leak in, air the engine didn't account for, which throws off the air-fuel mixture.
What you get is a rough or unstable idle, a lean condition, hesitation, or an idle that hangs high and won't settle. People chase these symptoms through sensors, the throttle body, and the tune, when the cause is air sneaking past a cracked intake gasket. If you've got an unexplained idle or lean issue on a D16, this gasket is one of the first cheap things to check and replace.
Replace It Whenever The Manifold's Off
Practical rule for this gasket.
Any time you remove the intake manifold, for a vacuum leak, a head gasket job, a valve cover or spark plug job that requires pulling the manifold, or swapping to a different intake manifold, the gasket should be replaced rather than reused. An old gasket that's been compressed and heat-cycled won't re-seal reliably once disturbed, and it's cheap enough that reusing it is a false economy.
On a manifold swap especially, fitting a fresh gasket is how you ensure the new manifold seals cleanly rather than leaking from day one.
Works With OEM And Aftermarket Manifolds
Useful flexibility.
This seals the factory intake manifold and most aftermarket manifolds that use the stock-style flange, so whether you're refreshing a stock setup or fitting an aftermarket manifold, it's the correct gasket as long as the flange matches the factory pattern. Confirm your aftermarket manifold uses the stock flange, and this seals it.
Fits All D16 Trims
Broad coverage across the platform.
It fits all 1996-2000 Honda Civic trims with the D16 engine, and the 1996-1997 Del Sol S and Si with the D16. That covers the bulk of the non-VTEC and SOHC VTEC Civics of that era, so for a D16-powered EK Civic or Del Sol, this is the gasket.
Genuine Honda
On a sealing gasket, correct material and fit are the whole job. The genuine Honda gasket is made from heat-resistant material to the correct dimensions, so it seals properly and lasts, where a cheap aftermarket gasket can fail again and put you back to chasing an idle problem. At this price, the genuine part is the easy call.
