Help seal combustion pressure and keep coolant and oil in their own passages with this 1997-2001 Honda CR-V 2.0L cylinder head gasket from APEX Automobile Parts Inc, part number AHG136. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2001 Honda CR-V with the L4-2.0L engine.
- Part type: Cylinder head gasket, installed between the cylinder head and the engine block.
- Application: 1997-2001 Honda CR-V, L4-2.0L.
- Quantity per application: 1. The listed application uses one head gasket.
Once clamped between the head and block, the gasket seals each combustion chamber so the engine can hold compression. It also keeps the coolant and oil passages that run through that joint separate from each other and from the cylinders.
Signs this part may need replacing include unexplained coolant loss, white smoke from the exhaust, overheating, oil that looks milky, or low compression on one or more cylinders. Other faults can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the gasket. If a failed head gasket is the problem, AHG136 replaces it.
During installation, have the head and block mating surfaces inspected as directed by the vehicle service information. Follow that information for the correct head bolts, whether the originals may be reused, and the tightening sequence and torque.
