Hey guys,

I'm looking at replacing the valve cover gasket on my wife's Civic (1.7L AT LX trim). So far, I've found two different gaskets. One with two loops for the crankshaft, and one with only one. I've done my good research, but I can't see if a one loop or two loop gasket is needed on a 1.7 engine. (Sorry to refer to the gasket curves as loops. I'm not very familiar with mech lingo).

Here's the link for the one with two loops:

One loop:

Felpro/Valve Cover Gasket (VS50606R) | 2001 Honda Civic LX 4 Cylinders 1.7L MFI SOHC | AutoZone.com

I'm thinking I need the one with 2 loops; any advice/confirmation is deeply appreciated.

They both have two loops. One is just a bad picture.

I'm not sure what else to call it. It's just the arch part that goes over the casting for the cam shaft.

 

Thank you for your reply.

Thought so. Just needed to be sure that the gasket I need must have those two loops.
