Well,
A local shop told me that they could make metal B20A headgaskets for us. All I have to do is bring him a spare gasket I got.
Before I have these made (if it works as planned), how many of you guys would want Metal headgaskets for your B20As?
Thanks
What would be the cost for it?
Make sure that it is not a copper head gasket, becasue those are not for street use. With copper headgaskets you ahve to have the head and block decked a certain way and coolent still leaks into the cylinders. Cosmitec can make you a copper one for $89.00 if you plan on getting one.
I don't know the final price yet. They told be it would be a metal gasket. I specificaly told them I didn't want a copper gasket. We'll see how it turns out.
Would the quality exceed the OEM honda ones or would it strictly just serve the purpose of providing you american/canadian guys with headgaskets and not being too concerned about any performance factors?
They would be better than the OEM ones AND provide a great replacement for us american/canadians hehe.
That's clever, eh :) If they're boost friendly I'd be interested!
I might be interested incase I blow my beautiful new OEM honda head gasket. Keep posted on price. <$100 is good.
if these are not copper, do you think he could make them for the a20?
I'd be interested, though it would be for the B21A1. I suppose no one else would want that though. *Sigh*.
I'm interested, keep me posted.
Well, I'm not sure it will work out. The guy supposedly has a contact at Cometic and this is where the gaskets will be sent. I know that Rob sent one and they basicaly told him they didn't want to make them or something. I told this to the guy but he assured me that he had a contact there and could match any headgasket. He supposedly had custom gaskets made by them for a reasonable price.
We'll see how it goes. I'm pretty sure that we could order at least 10 gaskets. It's always handy to have a spare one when it comes to hard to find parts like this.
Have you ever thought of trying race engineering.com? They have a copper HG already made!!!!! Its for B20/B21 motors. And you dont need a copper or metal hg if your not boosted! Dont you guys know anything?????
I think you need to get your facts straight before you start claiming all sorts of things will work, and people end up buying crap that doesnt fit.Quote:

No kidding. There's a big reason that Honda went to the MLS type head gaskets for ALL models. And provide a retrofit gasket for D15B engines (had problems with leaking oil out the back). It's because they are superior to the graphite composite gaskets in nearly every way.
Thats right Carot, I sent cometic mine and the only thing they would do without a minimum of 10 was copper. They should have the design of the B20A copper gasket still if they keep that stuff logged. I wasnt going to get 10 gaskets made but if your still looking into it im down but i was sure i couldnt get 10 people in on this but i would be willing to buy 2-4 gaskets depending on price.Quote:
