Parts for your 2017 Honda Cr-v-Head gasket

2017 Honda CR‑V head gasket — fitment, purpose and practical servicing tips

Technical sources including the Honda CR‑V (2017) workshop manual (Engine/Cylinder Head sections on Honda Service Information), the Honda electronic parts catalogue, and industry repair databases confirm the 2017 Honda CR‑V’s petrol engines — the 1.5‑litre turbo L15B7 and the 2.4‑litre K24W — are built with a multi‑layer steel cylinder head gasket. So yes, a head gasket is absolutely fitted to this model.

On this CR‑V, the head gasket sits between the aluminium cylinder head and the engine block, sealing three critical paths at once: high‑pressure combustion, coolant, and engine oil. Its job is to keep compression tight in the cylinders while stopping coolant and oil from wandering into places they shouldn’t. Honda uses a multi‑layer steel (MLS) design here because it copes well with heat cycles, boost pressure (on the 1.5T), and the different expansion rates of alloy and iron.

This isn’t a routine service item
