Detailed Description

Apex AHG169L is a left engine cylinder head gasket used in a wide range of Honda and Acura vehicles from 2008 through 2018. This gasket seals the cylinder head to the engine block on the left side, helping maintain compression and isolate combustion gases, coolant, and oil passages in the engine assembly. It is a fitment-specific replacement for applications such as the Honda Accord, Honda Odyssey, Honda Pilot, Honda Ridgeline, and Acura RDX, TL, and TSX. This part number, AHG169L, is the correct reference when matching the left-side gasket for these vehicles.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring compression loss caused by gasket failure
• Addressing coolant or oil mixing at the head-to-block sealing surface
• Repairing combustion gas leakage between the cylinder head and engine block
• Servicing engine overheating concerns tied to sealing failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm engine configuration and left-side application before installation. Inspect the cylinder head and block mating surfaces for warpage, corrosion, or residue before fitting the new gasket. Follow the vehicle service manual for torque sequence, torque stages, and any required head bolt replacement procedures. For accurate parts matching, verify the vehicle year, make, model, and left-side position against the fitment list before ordering AHG169L.
