Often this is the dilema we face when we are not running an "off the shelf car". Most of the people working at the parts house are NOT car guys, and there are too many combinations for them to be current on. So unless you have a Honda engine under the hood it would be wise to create a list and keep it handy. It becomes important that WE know the specifics of our own car, especially if we travel out of our home base. Things such as the specific part numbers for what head gaskets, starter, fan belt(s),alternator, radiator hoses, plugs, distributor caps, wheel bearings, fuses etc. You never know when you will need an item and if you have the list in your wallet or under the seat cushion, it could make your life and that of the inherited parts guy a lot easier.
