Rep Power: 269 Headgasket?
Is there a such thing as a ex head gasket and a lx headgasket?? Are they exactly the same? I was wondering because i did the headswap and used a lx headgasket and i was leaking oil so i took everything apart and i got another lx headgasket but my mechanic says there is a difference between the two. I looked up the part numbers and they are exact same for the nippon leakless so does it matter? O yeah at this moment i don't think it was leaking oil because of the head gasket i just decided to get another new one just to be safe.

Rep Power: 428 all the 01-05 civic's whether it be the HX, DX, LX, EX 2 or 4 door all use the same head gasket. All part numbers are all the same.
Now if you were leaking oil after the install, then you either didnt correctly install the head ( didnt properly torque the head bolts in the proper sequence ), or you had a faulty head gasket or the gasket wasnt seated properly.

8 6 2 4 10
9 3 1 5 7
And the torque sequence is 14, 36, then 49 ft. lbs of torque. Just incase you need to know for future reference. Glad I could help out.
