Which headgasket to use? H22A1 vs H22A4

Considering a h22a1 block with my h22a4 head. Which headgasket would be appropriate? Honda part numbers are 12251-P13-004 for the h22a1 and 12251-P5M-004 for the h22a4. Are they identical?

TIA

So you would go with a gasket meant for an open deck block on a closed deck block?

BAD INFO!

Use the headgasket meant for the block you are using.......

i would sugest the a1 gasket as well. coolant port between the a1 head and a4 head are almost identical, open or closed makes the choice.
