When it comes to things like this it's usually a better idea to go with OEM.

There are a lot of aftermarket gaskets that work very well, but certain things I trust only to Honda.

Anyone ever stretched a head bolt before? Anyone ever made too much power for the stock gasket to handle? I have.

The only OEM parts in my motor are the head casting, LMA's/lifters, crank, valve cover, and thrust bearings. It doesn't have that same OEM feel to it when i'm cruising WOT through the canyons, but I can I guess live with it.
