    everything tomisimo said "you better of with a complete rebuild of your engine, new bearings, hone cylinder holes, new pistons and rings, all new seals, rather head port, as our heads do have small ports to begin with.." this is your best shot for now

    you really just suggested nopi? nopi sells cheap chinese crap.

    if you want to rebuild your motor buy the honda parts.

    1 061A1-PJ0-305 GASKET KIT A
    2 061B1-PH2-010 GASKET KIT B
    3 061C1-PC8-S00 GASKET KIT c


    those three gasket kits will have most of the gaskets you need.

    as for things like bearings it's not necessary to buy from honda but i would make sure it was a reputable brand, i've had good luck with a company called Rock products, they make bearings, pistons, etc... but something like ACL is good too.

    In any case you want to follow all procedures on tear down and reassembly, that means torque sequences, clearance measurements, etc.

    i wouldn't use aftermarket parts for anything but maybe the headgasket or power adding parts like a cam, cam gear, and so on. stuff like the water pump, oil pump, or timing belt should be honda, there is no reason to change as the parts are cheap and the quality is top notch, don't be fooled by autozone or checker on their prices, it's better to pay a little more for something that's not going to fail than pay less for something you'll have to replace.

    as i said before do some searching, you can find some good write ups on doing these kinds of procedures, buy a shop manual all the info is there too, hell even look at other honda motors, d-series.org has some good stuff, sohchonda.com and onecamonly.com also do, the principals learned in those threads can be applied to any honda motor.

    it's a lot of work but don't be like some of these yahoos and half ass shit, you'll not enjoy the results, and the rest of us won't either.

    hondapartsnow.com has all the part numbers you need and they have the best prices, shipping kills so order all at once or not at all.

    i said for some gaskets but i wouldn't trust felpro for any rubber gasket, i had a 2-3 felpro valve cover gaskets that fell apart. must have been why they're called felpro.

    i never once mentioned an american product... but you realize your car was made right here in america right? ohio to be exact.

    as for quality standards, china has no quality control, whatever comes out comes out, sometimes you get decent stuff sometimes you get shit that brakes in a day, with something that i'm trusting my life with, ie my car, i'm not going to skimp and buy something cheap because it's cheap, i'm going to pay money for quality parts. but then again, i'm not you wei...
