will a stock honda head gaskets be good enough for boost aroound 10.5lbs-17lbs???

 

Depends if your block surface and head surface are flat..

 

cometic is a good gasket but their customer sucks

 

i would upgrade.

why risk it??? good insurance this way

 

If the stock gasket will fit your bore and like someone else said, both head and deck are clean/flat (which is 100 times more insurance than just using a different gasket), it will be fine.

I wouldn't upgrade unless I was running a different bore or thickness than what OEM could sufficiently provide.

 

Just go with OEM and some copper spray.

The surfaces being flat is more important than anything. Bring your stuff into a machine shop.

 

do you mean both the block and the head or just the head???

Block and head

 

OEM is all you need unless you are looking to lower/increase your compression.

 

i'd stick with OEM.
