i had to pull my head on my jdm d15 recently and when i took the mani off pieces of the gasket stuck to both the mani and the head, first of all which gasket would i get? 2nd, do i even need a new gasket? none of the gasket broke off the pieces will line up when i put the mani back on, do i need to replace it anyway?

The real question you should ask yourself is how much fun was it taking off the manifold. Now multiply that fun times two and ask yourself if you can handle it. If not, I suggest you replace the manifold (any d-series VTEC should work I think) gasket regardless of how it looks .

 

the longblock is still out of the car so it wasnt too hard
so my main question now, is it really necessary?
