its a honda headgasket.. but its for vtec.. i dont think we're supposed to be using a vtec head gasket.. i think i read somewhere we need a non-vtec headgasket because we had to put that plug in the vtec feed hole..

If he's got an Ls/vtec and is running vtec he's going to need a vtec (gsr) headgasket with the hole.

Lol. I dont think you guys are understanding my question. I bought an lsvtec kit from a member on here. The headgasket i have has a honda stamp on the back. Im just making sure that golden eagle sends them out like that and i didnt get screwed with the wrong headgasket.

Doesnt really mention anything. But it pretty much looks like what i would get if i went and got one from the dealership. The guy i bought it from says they come like that but i dont know if i trust him or not. Everyone knows this place is full of scammers.

if it says honda only i would guess its a oe replacement from honda. if it was a golden eagle it should say it. but you need a ls gasket for the year block to do ls/vtec

New buts its for a b18b (ls) and i have a b20. So the whole reason i was asking is because im shipping it to golden eagle so that they could replace it with an 84 mm one. And i didnt want to ship them some stock honda headgasket.
