Honda CRX / Integra intake manifold thermal gasket 17105-P29-004

Honda CRX / Integra intake manifold thermal gasket 17105-P29-004

High-quality intake manifold thermal gasket designed for classic Honda CRX and Integra engines. It replaces the OEM gasket 17105-P29-004 and is made from PTFE (Teflon), helping to reduce heat transfer from the cylinder head to the intake manifold and charge air.

Construction and material

• Material: PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene – Teflon)
• Gasket type: intake manifold thermal gasket
• Thickness: approx. 3 mm
• Reusable – can be removed and reinstalled during future engine work*

*Reusability depends on correct installation and the condition of the mating surfaces.

Benefits of a PTFE thermal gasket

• Helps reduce heat soak of the intake manifold during spirited driving and track use
• Improves intake air temperature stability compared to a standard paper / composite gasket
• Chemically resistant to fuels, oils and common automotive fluids
• Wide operating temperature range – suitable for heavily loaded and tuned engines

Key PTFE material properties

• Very high chemical resistance to most solvents, fuels and oils
• Continuous temperature resistance up to approx. +260 °C
• Short-term peak temperature up to approx. +300 °C
• Non-melting, self-extinguishing and very difficult to ignite (UL94)
• Extremely low thermal conductivity – one of the lowest among engineering plastics

Application – Honda engines and models

The thermal gasket 17105-P29-004 fits the following Honda models and engines:

Honda CRX

• Honda CRX 1984–1987 – engine ZC1
• Honda CRX 1988–1991 – engines D16A8, D16A9, D16Z5

Honda Integra

• Honda Integra 1989–1993 – engines D16A2, D16A3

If you are looking for an intake manifold thermal gasket for Honda CRX or a PTFE intake manifold gasket for D16 engines, this part is the correct choice for the above configurations.

Installation tips

• Carefully clean the cylinder head and intake manifold mating surfaces before fitting
• Always inspect the manifold for warping and correct it if necessary
• Use factory torque specs and tightening sequence for the intake manifold bolts
• After installation, check for intake leaks at idle and under load

FAQ – Honda CRX / Integra intake manifold thermal gasket 17105-P29-004

Does this gasket replace the OEM Honda part?

Yes, this thermal gasket replaces the original Honda intake manifold gasket with part number 17105-P29-004.

Can I use it on a daily driven car?

Yes. The gasket is suitable both for daily street cars and for more performance-oriented builds, where reducing intake manifold temperature is especially beneficial.

Is any sealant required during installation?

In most cases sealant is not necessary. Make sure the mating surfaces are flat and clean. If the manifold or head is slightly imperfect, a thin film of suitable high-temperature sealant may be used according to professional workshop practice.

Can the gasket be reused?

The PTFE material allows reuse if the gasket has not been damaged and the surfaces are properly prepared. However, for highly stressed or competition engines, many builders prefer using a new gasket during engine rebuilds.
