that does look like a no BS gasket, no junk
My boost controller was acting up and i had spikes into the mid 20's for a period of time and my gasket (OEM Honda) with ARP studs never did blow. I also beat the crap out of it because Raceeng screwed me when i bought my pistons and the rings were not meant for boost so i beat it knowing i had to rebuild it all. So i had a lot of spikes with no blown headgaskets. This is why i really want an OEM gasket im skeptical of the aftermarket ones but i think were screwed trying to get OEM honda gaskets.
Definately get a Tial i have my 35mm i would consider selling but pm me if it comes to that.
I wonder how much a OEM honda B20A gasket really is. Ill be trying to get my b20a rebuilt using genuine honda b20a parts from japan
what do you think about increasing the torque up to 65+ like someone said on PP?
The gasket looked like decent quality in the picture, and with the studs the ideal torque may not necessarily match oem recommendtion anyway.
Head gaasket's are here

how much are they each?
I had a really good source in Japan but they say that they are no longer available so i went with a vendor in NZ and the same response because they buy from Japan.
does this mean that i have the last new oem honda gasket in existance then? Thanks again for that rob. If anyone does find any oem let me know Ill need at least one for down the road especially if this is how the aftermarket work

VERY interesting epiphony TWOLOUDNPROUD
I think you're definately on to something there
(credit to autozone for the following information)
On all models except 1988-89 DOHC Prelude and 1992-95 Preludes with 2.3L and VTEC engines, tighten the head bolts following sequence A. On 1988-89 DOHC Preludes, use sequence B. Use sequence C on 1992-95 Preludes with 2.3L and VTEC engines.
A) On 1984-89 Accords and 1984-91 Preludes, tighten the bolts in two passes. The first pass should bring the bolts to about 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm). On the second pass, tighten the bolts to their final torque of 49 ft. lbs. (68 Nm).
B) On 1990-93 Accords, tighten the bolts to 29 ft. lbs. (40 Nm) on the first pass, 51 ft. lbs. (70 Nm) on the second pass, then tighten the bolts to their final torque of 78 ft. lbs. (108 Nm).
C) On 1994-95 Accords and 1992-95 Preludes, the bolts are also tightened in three passes. Tighten the bolts to 29 ft. lbs. (40 Nm) on the first pass, 51 ft. lbs. (70 Nm) on the second pass, then tighten the bolts to their final torque of 72 ft. lbs. (100 Nm).
