Genuine Honda Timing Chain Cover Gasket OEM 11413-5R7-A01

Genuine Honda Timing Chain Cover Gasket OEM 11413-5R7-A01

The Genuine Honda OEM timing chain cover gasket, part number 11413-5R7-A01, is a critical sealing component designed to ensure the integrity of your engine's lubrication system. This gasket is installed between the engine block and the timing chain cover, preventing engine oil leaks and protecting the timing assembly from external contaminants.

Manufactured from specialized, high-durability rubber, this gasket is engineered to withstand extreme engine temperatures and constant exposure to synthetic oils. Thanks to the precision manufacturing of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts, it provides a perfect fit for the mounting surfaces. This is especially vital for modern VTEC Turbo engines and e:HEV hybrid units, where maintaining a hermetic seal is essential for engine longevity and performance.

When to Replace / Service Tips

The timing cover gasket should be replaced in the following scenarios:

• Whenever the timing chain cover is removed (it is a single-use gasket),
• If oil seepage or leaks are detected around the front engine cover area,
• During a timing chain or timing belt replacement (specifically for 1.0 Turbo engines).

Installation & Practical Advice

• Before installation, thoroughly clean and degrease the contact surfaces on both the engine block and the cover.
• Ensure the gasket is correctly seated in the guide groove – improper seating can lead to pinching and immediate oil leaks upon startup.
• We strongly recommend using the Genuine Honda OEM gasket to avoid the need for a secondary, costly disassembly that often occurs with low-quality aftermarket seals.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about 11413-5R7-A01

Does this gasket fit the Civic 1.0 Turbo?
Yes, this is the original gasket dedicated to the P10A2 engines found in the 10th generation Honda Civic.

Is additional liquid sealant/silicone required during installation?
According to Honda service manuals, the gasket is primarily installed "dry" into a clean groove. However, small amounts of sealant (such as Hondabond) may be required at the specific "T-junctions" where the block, head, or oil pan meet. Always refer to the service manual for your specific engine model.
