RICHWEI Valve Cover Gasket Kit for 2001-2005 Honda Civic 1.7L D17A — Complete Seal Set, OEM Fit

This gasket set supplies the rubber sealing components needed when servicing the valve cover on compatible Honda Civic models. Manufactured from high-grade materials and tested during production, the kit fits multiple DX, LX, EX, HX and GX trims that use the D17A1, D17A2, D17A6 and D17A7 engine codes. It replaces OEM part references VS50606R and VC4034 and ships as a single, ready-to-install gasket set.

How will this gasket kit improve my Civic after an oil leak?

Replacing brittle or compressed valve cover gaskets restores the intended seal between the valve cover and cylinder head so oil stays contained. That reduces engine bay oil buildup and helps prevent dripping onto belts or the exhaust manifold. Use this kit whenever the cover is removed for maintenance or if you notice seepage around the cover edges.

• Stops common weeping at the valve cover perimeter and around bolt holes.
• Restores factory-style compression of the rubber sealing surfaces.
• Reduces chance of contaminating ignition components with oil.

What specific Honda models and engine codes does this fit?

This RICHWEI set is tailored for 1.7L SOHC 16V Civic engines manufactured 2001–2005. Confirm your vehicle’s engine code before ordering to ensure compatibility. The listing covers popular trims that used the D17A family of motors.

• 2001–2005 Honda Civic DX, LX (D17A1)
• 2001–2005 Honda Civic EX (D17A2)
• 2001–2005 Honda Civic HX (D17A6)
• 2001–2005 Honda Civic GX CNG (D17A7)

Why choose this RICHWEI replacement over a single gasket or used parts?

This kit provides all required sealing components in one package, reducing the risk of missing parts during reassembly. New, quality-controlled pieces restore proper clamping and resilience that aged gaskets lose over time. Purchasing a complete set is faster and helps avoid repeat disassembly should an omitted seal cause a leak.

• Includes the full valve cover gasket set—no need to hunt for extra seals.
• Manufactured and inspected to meet quality standards for fit and durability.
• Sold as a replacement for OEM VS50606R / VC4034 references.

How difficult is installation and what should I prepare?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic engine work: remove the valve cover, clean mating surfaces, replace gaskets, and torque bolts to specification. Have common hand tools, a torque wrench, and a clean rag on hand; replacing the gasket while performing other maintenance (spark plug access, PCV inspection) saves labor later.

• Prepare a clean work area and a torque wrench for correct bolt tightening.
• Inspect the valve cover and mounting surfaces; replace warped parts if present.
• Check PCV grommet and related seals while the cover is off.

Who is this for: This RICHWEI VS50606R valve cover gasket kit is aimed at DIYers, independent mechanics and fleet maintainers working on 2001–2005 Honda Civics with 1.7L D17A-series engines. It’s ideal when restoring leak-free operation during tune-ups, gasket replacement jobs, or any service that requires valve cover removal. Always verify year, trim and engine code before purchasing to ensure the correct fit for your vehicle.
