Its not stock, it has some bolt ons. Im gonna go with a Cometic MLS Headgasket, its stronger than oem and just like 20 bucks more expensive.

Bro I have alot of buddies that recommend to go comitec. Im going to be lowering the compression of the motor to 9:1 and adding a Precision 6262 Turbo build on it, custom built kit in the next couple of months so I need a stronger gasket.

After doing some reserach. I find out that comitec HG sucks! So im going with OEM Honda.

OEM is good unless you got major plans for the car.

you can get a cometic one that creates lower compression. if you want to keep it the same just get a Fel-Pro Gasket. Thats what I use and its a built and boosted motor. Hasnt failed on me. I few other people I know use Fel-Pro also and no problems with any of them.

alot of people have problems with comitec head gaskets and some dont.
oem is great, but is only good to a certain point
