Head Gasket For ls/vtec
im pretty sure my headgasket went today,my car is smoking pretty bad,and ive been having over heating issues.my setup is b18a1 block and b16 head.all oem honda parts.what would be a good head gasket choice?the car just had a fel pro 3 layer put in it 2 years ago with all oem honda gsr head studs.i do not plan on using an oem honda gasket,i was considering maybe a cometic or something.also is it true that you should never re use oem honda head studs?i read that they stretch over time.if so what would be a good choice arp bolts?

Get ARP headstuds or GE, don't reuse stock bolts.
As for a headgasket, just buy an OEM honda headgasket. Cometic is not needed with a stock setup. Hell I used OEM on 350+ hp turbo setups and others have used them wiht much higher. No need for anything other than OEM.
