well are their any other types? my head was milled a little bit and my block was decked, i would want an aftermarket gasket that i can compensate for the deck and milling so i dont raise my compression.

Not a D series ninja, but I thought OEM gaskets were garbage when it came to D series?

I know I run a oem B series one on b16...

I really dont know, I would assume OEM is always best though.

the d16y8 OEM is 3 layer metal.

if you see one by Nippon racing I believe that is the same as OEM. cometic are also popular w/ d-guys.

After going through 6 head gaskets on my D16. They all withstood my abuse all the same. Save yourself some money and go with OEM.
