That would be a retarded idea to buy that. They dont even list any specs on how thick it is. Stick with oem.

Just buy an oem from the dealer. Most people just use the oem head gasket for most applications.

Hondapartsdeals.com, look at the 96-00 Ex section, engine, then cylinder head.

$23.84, and probably under $30 total shipped to your door. I've done 10psi/big turbo on a d16z6 w/*reused* oem mls headgasket. FTW

The only way you really can blow an OEM msl gasket is by running way too much timing, way too much heat (coolant stops flowing), or your head/block is warped to some degree.
