Default Does this head gasket look used?
dumb question but got it from honda new but the bag was ripped and looks like it has a lot of oil smears and finger prints...







would there be anything wrong? its supposed to be a b16/gsr head gasket. and on the side of the gasket itself it says p30a46221

Just put it on, it looks like theres nothing wrong with it. If I was the guy at the parts counter I would probably punch you in the *****. I'll bet your old one looks worse.

It was probably pressed down once or something.

It's fine, throw it on.
