So far I have used a GSR and ITR aftermarket gasket(for the higher compression) but they were leakin to much. What would work best? I'm about to use an LS aftermarket gasket to see what happens. For the guys that have a LS/vtec what do you guys use???

Edit- Btw, I'm talkin about the head gasket.

 

I would go with golden eagle, they make ones specificaly for ls/vtec swaps, and i have yet to hear something bad about them or their products.

use OEM honda LS hg's

 

golden eagle uses OEM honda head gaskets... might even be able to get it cheaper from the dealer, but u need the head gasket for the LS

 

Golden Eagle

Im using it on my LS/VTEC and it works perfectly

 

Have always used OEM Honda head gaskets, and used B16 headgaskets too. Why? Because 1) it's cheaper than the LS gasket and 2) it's easier to modify the block for the dowel pins than the head IMO. Used a B16 headgasket on my old LS/VTEC back in 1998 (which was the 1st, and only at that time, CA smog legal LS/VTEC around) and it held up to consistent 9000 rpm shifting. It really doesn't matter which gasket you use, just besure you do the modifications and installation properly or you'll run into problems down the road.

 

If I'm keeping a stock bore, I use an OEM LS gasket. If I'm going anything over stock bore, I use a golden eagle gasket.

 

Thanks guys, I'm gunna try the golden ealge gasket.

 

If you do some research on LS/VTEC swaps, from what I've read you use the LS headgasket, unless you pull the brass pins off the vtec gasket it leaks cause of the brass pins
