Tightening The Bolts?

If you need to repair something and you don't have the exact size of sockets or adapters, you can use a socket adapter to get the job done. Socket adapters can be attached to any type of socket to get the perfect size that you need to make a bolt tighter or loosen a bolt. You can use a socket adapter on almost any type of electronic or other item that has screws and bolts. Be careful when you tighten the bolts though because if you get it too tight or if your cross thread it, you will ruin the bolt and need to get a new one.

What is the procedure to replace an oil pan gasket and shifter seal on a 1997 Honda Civic EX 4 door model?

Oil pan - you need to get under the vehicle and remove the engine support that runs under the engine from front to rear. Remove all the screws holding the oil pan. Clean off the old gasket from the oil pan and engine block completely. They may need to be scraped to get them clean, but don't scratch the surfaces. Use a little silicone sealant (rtv) to stick the gasket to the pan. You may wish to put a little sealant on the block side as well. Then put the pan back in place and attach the screws loosely. Tighten them up slightly in cross patterns (not in a circle). Then tighten them a little more in a cross pattern. Then tighten them all up a final time. Wait a few hours before you put new oil in.
