Need Gaskets??

I just bought this, well, ordered it, total was 52$ and some change [with shipping] and it seems like a good deal in my opinion, other gasket sets on the site are like 100$+ I did notice where it says {clearance} I'll keep you guys updated on how it goes, quality etc. I couldn't pass up on the deal, just wanna share the convience with you guys. Hope nobody minds? O.o

P.S. Has anyone ever had any trouble getting the EGR tube to go into DC Headers? 2ooDoor [RooDoo2] came over this week and we were trying everything, from good ole strong-arm to trying to find ways to wiggle/wobble/pry/bend, but no such luck.. Figured two minds were better than one, but it kicked both our butts. For now, I just have my old Pacesetters in..

Thats a good deal if its full. The last full set I bought had even the oil pump gaskets, inj seals, oil ftlr adapter seals. Just those would be 52 bucks.
I don't like to give up unless its 120 deg or 20 deg outside so I would have normally stayed there and removed whatever was needed to get that back on! Need a blue tip wrench...

Good find! Watch the seals on that kit. If it's a closeout, then they have probably been on the shelf for longer than your car has been on the road. The seals get hard and leak and it won't be as good a deal if that happens. Let us know how it works out.

Hopefully I wont step on any toes here, I'm not trying to crash this thread but seeing as for the subject matter I thought this might be an appropriate pace to put this warning.

I don't know if it's because of the recent changes to some fuels lately (They have gotten a little more acidic the last few years, especially with the addition of ethanol) but I would suggest being sure to replace any new injector seals with green ring seals...

I'm sure no matter what the brand, there's only a few manufacturers that make these seals, and if they're anything like the seals used in AC plumbing, the green color denotes the seal being made of a different and newer material (I.E. The GOOD STUFF). Most of the new seal kits I've seen show them in green but I made the mistake of buying the old cheapo ones. Keep in mind in the top photo the green and the black one were both replaced at the same time...just a few months ago.

I'm still waiting for them to get here, I plan on going through every single gasket with a fine tooth comb. We'll just have to see how it goes.

Alright fellas! 12/12/12 they came in today [go figure] shipping took a bit, buuuut honestly not all that bad, from a Wednesday, to a Wednesday, they didn't take payment till after I had a tracking #, it was all on hold etc. etc.

Now, I got the main box, and inside the box, was another box! That box was wrapped with paper and wedged with paper etc. In short, they did a decent packing job and didn't just ship it in the gasket box, so not a single gasket is bent, torn, or anything. I've been 'inspecting' each one individually [which is taking forever]... So far so good, they all honestly look nice and clean, the rubber ones still have that 'fresh rubber' feel to them, not the crusty, flaky feeling I half expected.. I'll upload a few pictures, and give these guys a 5/5 for price, quality, and even shipping!

Super!

I bought a nearly identical kit a year or two ago. Overall a great value, especially for those hard-to-find gaskets! However, the injector seals ended up looking just like lostscotiaguy's after a few months, and I would still reccomend buying premuim gaskets for critical areas like the head. The valve cover gasket cracked and leaked oil after a short time as weel. Just my opinion

I was curious on whether or not this kit comes with the Oil Filter Base Gasket, else I'll need to pick it up from Honda, myself.
I'm right on the verge of buying a used A20A3 for $350 and learning how my engine works using my new manual(Gotta love Christmas ) and some more mechanically inclined friends to rebuild it(Send Long Block to the Machine shop and buy new valves/springs). There was a Piston/Rebuild kit on Ebay as of yesterday as well, and I'm hoping I can still get my hands on a set should I decide to try.

It should have the Oil Filter Base Gasket, mine did.
