So I just opened the stone ishino head gasket set I ordered from Autopartsway.com to discover that the head gasket was slightly bent (and I passed the 15 day return period).

The bent part, shown in picture one and two, is the part that goes around the oil passage bellow where the head bolt goes in on the lower far right side of the block (when facing the car). Would this head gasket be ok to use or should I buy a new one? I'm heading by the local dealership after school to see how much they will sell me one for.

For the effort of removing the head, I'd get a better gasket of I were doing it. If a brand new head gasket leaked oil as soon as the head was back on, I'd be pretty fed up! I'd save the bent one for emergency or something haha

Yeah, replace it. I've tried using head gaskets that I fucked up and it never turns out well. For the trouble it takes to get to it, just replace it.

Thanks for the advice Fixedit and Snooz. I ordered a new head gasket from my local Honda dealership and should be getting it in this week.
