Honda.
the exhaust manifold gasket is reusable if its in decent condition.
so are the others minus the intake manifold one...stupid paper gaskets.

Felpro makes good gaskets.
You should be able to buy them at any good "professional" parts store.
They are generally not available individually, except for the valve cover gasket. you will have to buy a kit.

The B16 head gasket is the same as the B18C

The GSR intake manifold gasket is the only one that is different.

All other VTEC gaskets (b-series) are the same.

the stock head gasket has three metal layers riveted together to make one gasket. on the other hand the spoon has only two layers, thus raising your compression ratio.

All B16A & B18C head gasket is inter-changable for your info.
Spoon one rise the CR by 0.2.
