I'm going to be replacing my head gasket in a couple of weeks and I'm going to be buying it from autozone cause they seem to have the best matches for my car. 1) Should I just get a head gasket or should i get a head gasket set? 2) If anyone has done this before what are good gaskets to use, meaning the material they're made of, and/or what manufacturers are good? Autozone carries FELPRO AND BECK/ARNLEY. Thanks

i would go down to the honda dealer and get OEM, no after market over here, hehe. Felpro is bad for exhaust manifold gasket, mines blow in about a week after my header was install, i went OEM honda right now, you might have to pay little extra but it will worth it in the long run.

i am about to buy this kit. i looked everywhere and Honda always makes remarks about Ishino gaskets. i am sure if you go to the dealer and pay a little extrayou will get the same kit.
they even have OEM replacement timing belt. i am gonna order like $300 worth of OEM parts from them in a next week or so.
