OEM headgasket can I use it safely... vs Cometic ???? please give me your IMO ...

I just need to know if many of you use OEM Honda headgasket

I have almost all my parts to get all my new project done but my wallet seems to be empty ( or just more slim loll)

So I was going to get the Cometic hi-boost but the top of my sleeves will be o-ringed so can I use a OEM gasket safely ... oh I expect to get around 350 whp....

should I save money on this or should I take the Cometic ... does it worth the cost ???

GEM recommends OEM gaskets with their o-ringed sleeves. I used a Cometic gasket in my engine because the OEM gasket for this engine (D16A1) is a graphite POS.

If you are O ringing your block then stock headgasket or the Cometic NON HP gasket! I would prefer the OEM myself in that set up, just fits better imo.
