Default metal gaskets?

I've been taking apart my old motor and finding that all my gaskets are metal... Did the civic come stock with metal gaskets??

Your car had metal gaskets. The intake and t/b gasket is always made of paper. Little FYI for you, the 88-91 civics had paper head gaskets, that had to be retorqued after the engine has warmed up. Man those motors are a PITA.

Not all of the honda head gaskets post 91 are metal, we just took apart a 92 CX and it had a paper/metal head gasket (and 8 valves! ugh!)
