    Question head gasket ?'s

    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
    Scott

    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.

    yeah you guys are correct its very important to use a honda head gasket. Virtually all others tend to go bad after a while.

    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.
