Overview

Twenty-plus years of heat cycles leave their mark on the top of the engine: the original valve cover gasket has gone hard and flat, and oil finds the easiest way out — down the side of the engine where it burns off on the hot exhaust, or into the spark plug wells where it eats into the ignition. The fix is a one-afternoon job, and it only makes sense to do the whole top end at once. This AUXITO kit arrives with everything for one engine: the valve cover gasket, the four spark plug tube seals and the five grommets, for the 2001-2005 Civic 1.7L engines listed below.

Vehicle fitment & specifications

Features

Durable rubber
Heat and abrasion resistant rubber that holds its shape through the heat cycles of daily driving, for long-lasting reliability in every season.

Good sealing
Molded to the cover profile so it seats tight at every port — no oil leakage, for the long run.

Complete top-end kit
Gasket, tube seals and grommets in one box, so the valve cover comes off exactly once.

Tested before shipping
100% tested — parts are validated on the vehicle to ensure they perform on the road.

Fitment check

This set covers the 2001-2005 Civic DX, LX (D17A1), EX (D17A2), HX (D17A6) and the CNG-powered GX (D17A7) — the full 1.7L D17 range. The quickest check is your engine code, printed on the under-hood emissions label; then compare the number on your original gasket against the OE list above before ordering.

FAQ

How do I tell the gasket has had it?
Oil film around the edge of the valve cover, a burning-oil smell after a drive, the oil level dropping between changes, rough running or misfires, or dark spots on the driveway where you park. Any of these on a 1.7L Civic points at the top-end seals first.

What does the job involve?
Engine cold, remove the valve cover and lift out the old gasket and PCV grommet, clean the seating area on the cover and the cylinder head — free of oil, and clear of hoses and electrical wires — then press the new gasket and grommets in so they sit fully in the receiver groove and refit the cover. Check for leaks after the first few drives.

Do I need to apply sealant?
No — this gasket seats into a groove in the cover and holds dry. Sealant only comes into it if the groove or the mating surface is damaged, and that is worth fixing first.

Is one set enough for one engine?
Yes — 1 gasket, 4 tube seals and 5 grommets is the complete top-end set for one 1.7L engine. You only need two sets for two cars.

How do I confirm it fits my car?
Match your model year and engine code against the fitment table — DX, LX, EX, HX and GX across 2001-2005 — then compare the numbers on your original gasket against the OE list above.
