Well then you're dumb.. There is nothing better than oem when it comes to **** like this. Hey if you want to blow another head gasket be my guest. And if you're too cheap to pay then get out of Honda's now because you got a long road ahead of you.

My personal rule?
The more important and the more complicated to get to the part is, the more important it is to use high-quality parts. So I use the cheapo wiper blades, but a head gasket? It doesn't get much more important.
OEM or Felpro for me, leaning towards OEM. Cometic looks decent, but I have no personal experience with them, so can't form an opinion one way or another.

I've blown both OEM and fel-pro gaskets, I really couldn't give you an acurate statistics though. The engine with the fel-pro gasket already had the gasket put in when i got it, I got 6000kms out of it before it blew again, but i have no idea how long it was in there before i got it. OEM is usually the way to go for this kind of stuff though.

Re: eBay head gasket and bolt sets? (h-duced)
think of it this way. the cheaper a part is, the lower the qualities of materials, less attention to smaller details in the manufacturing process, and alot larger of tolarences then with a higher quality part.
if you buy the cheap one, i bet you that you will end up with a warped head sooner or later.
