Parts for your 2008 Honda Cr-v-Manifold gasket

2008 Honda CR‑V manifold gasket: purpose, service tips, and when to replace

Technical sources confirm the 2008 Honda CR‑V does use manifold gaskets. The Honda CR‑V (2007–2011) Service Manual covers both intake and exhaust manifold sealing in its Intake/Exhaust system sections, and the Honda Electronic Parts Catalogue lists dedicated intake manifold and exhaust manifold gaskets for the K24 i‑VTEC petrol engine. That means manifold gaskets are absolutely relevant on this model.

On a 2008 CR‑V, the intake manifold gasket seals the junction between the intake manifold and the cylinder head, keeping unmetered air out so the engine runs smoothly and efficiently. The exhaust manifold gasket seals hot exhaust gases as they exit the head into the manifold/catalyst, preventing noise, fumes, and false oxygen sensor readings. Together, they help maintain proper idle quality, fuel trims, and emissions performance.

These gaskets live a tough life under the bonnet—heat cycling, vibration, and age can flatten or harden the material. There’s no scheduled replacement interval in Honda service literature
