That looks almost like a Z6 head. Whats the stamp say?

Well if its a y8 head then i suggest getting a y8 honda gasket.

Cometic makes them but OEM is fine too.


Check out http://www.turbod16.com lots of help there for this set up.

Make sure you have the head checked to make sure it's flat.

How much boost you running?
