Huh? Can you explain that please? I went to Tochigi Japan where they made the OEM gaskets for honda. Felpro may be the same specifications, but they're not the same.

Use Felpro if you wish, I personally like OEM.

There's nothing wrong with Felpro. looking at the 2 side by side, they are the same. the only thing I can could see that was different was the black on the bottom and Felpro had no numbers on the distributor side. both work well. OEm is OEM, but in this case, Felpro works great too. use at your discresion.

k i got this for head sequence

8, 4, 2, 6, 10
7, 3, 1, 5, 9

and this for cam caps

13, 9, 5, 1, 3, 7, 11 (side of cam cover closest to intake)
14, 10, 6, 2, 4, 8, 12 (side of cam cover closest to exhaust)
Shown above is one cam cover, sequence is the same for intake and exhaust cam cover.
#1-10 20ft-lbs (240in-lbs) #11-14 7.2ft-lbs (86in-lbs) (94+ B18C specs)
#1-10 16ft-lbs (192in-lbs) #11-14 8ft-lbs (96in-lbs) (B16A specs)

are these correct
