Replace the head gasket with a stock one, you'll be fine. You can reuse the headbolts but if you ever take them out again I'd replace them. Head studs are nice but not necessary for your build. Just follow the torque sequence shown in the shop manual.

 

K thanks. Anyone have a link to good priced oem headgaskets?

 

kragen for 25bucks.

 

show me this, its 69 on kragen i just check... 2000 civic si

 

hondapartsdeal.com or majestichonda.com will have the cheapest OEM parts for sure.

 

dweff get a new head gasket or youll have an oil leak.. try autzone or a place lyk that for the gasket it will be lyk 40 bucks oppose to lyk 130 at a dealer

 

check your local performance shop?

I got my gaskets for a fair deal from a local shop not necessarily cheaper than majestic, but I got it 2 days later and $8 cheaper than from the dealer.
