Now, if you're going to ask: "Why are Honda original parts better than an aftermarket parts?"

Honda Motor company has a very large budget that they can test their products on. If the product (in this case a headgasket) has a defect they can spend money to make it better; thus making it an overall better part.

A company like Toda (Toda is a VERY good company and design very high quality parts for Honda) doesn't have nearly the budget like Honda does. Their metal headgaskets are definitely good, but I would have a lot more faith in a Honda gasket for the long run.

Thanks. That goes for just about any product that has non-manufacture replacements as well, not just cars.
