Ebay Head Gasket vs. Honda OEM Gasket?
 

Close please

Simply, are they any good?? Or should I go with one from Honda?
When I pulled my head off the gasket (Ebay Gasket) looked like shit. Now my friend is building his B16 and the head gasket he pulled off of it looked brand new. The gasket wasn't blown, I was just rebuilding the head:D

honda gaskets for me, and they arent even that expensive.. not worth the risk in my opinion. they(ebay) may work fine, but i just use oem gaskets whenever i do something like that. Good luck with your head rebuild.

Either honda or cometic.. Both have held over 32 psi for me. Why risk it?

That’s $100. I'm not boosting and I’m defiantly not making a lot of power:( so I don't think I need something like that.

As long as it has the viton seal, and made outa stainless i dont see why there would be a difference, I bought my headgasket off ebay.... Cometic tho...lol. maybe you will get lucky like me, and they sent me 2 cometic gaskets, cause it took them 2 weeks to get me my first one, i called, and he said he was sorry and 4 days later another arrived in the mail..haha .050 middle shim, and a .030 middle shim. lucky me

LOL. 32 psi from a T25 isn't much ;)..


I've always rocked Honda gaskets. They've been good to me.

7 psi daily on a stock b16a w/ a t3t4 50trim. It saw 14psi and it held together aswell. lol.
