Just a warning for anyone installing a Cometic head gasket anytime soon. The one I had...notice I said had....was labeled up, on the wrong side. To make it simple, if you were going by how the head gasket is labeled from Cometic and you install it, it doesn't cover an oil orifice near cylinder #4 and your motor becomes a water fountain of oil. So, pay more attention to the way it lines up than going by what the gasket has stamped on it as up. I have heard other stories about this after I had my mishap. Partially my fault for not paying close enough attention, but Cometic's fault for labeling the gasket on the wrong side to be up. So if you plan on buying one or installing one, be sure to do a close test fit and make sure that the gasket you have is labeled right, or maybe it's labeled wrong like mine and you'll have to install it upside down "according to the label". I spent my Sunday pulling my head off because of it and had to order a new gasket, which I got from Honda.
