This might be a dumb question but im just making sure on this. ok well in the picture you can see my old cometic headgasket and my new cometic headgasket the old one i order some a shop in FL. and the new one came direct from cometic.
QUESTION the old gasket goes around the whole block it covers the the the deck around every curve and this new one looks like it wont so what or if is there a difference between the 2 gaskets.

 

does the new one have a bigger bore?

 

the old one is 82 the new one is 81.5

am i just blind or does it look like the old gasket had more holes and the new one looks like it will be 2 small

 

call cometic

 

It doesn't even look like the right gasket.

 

got a part no. on it? run that with cometics site, or download their pdf catalog and just search for the part no.

 

That's the correct gasket. Just throw that baby on with some original Factory OE Hondabond and use OEM spark plugs and you'll be smoking good.

Is it not clear that that is wrong gasket. Just put one on top of the other and count how many hole don't line up to anything.

Sorry but the IQ level here is lower than 70 - idiocy levels.

 

thats why i asked because it didnt seem right so i would rather show you guys a picture so you can tell me what you think then open it up pull it try to see if it's right and then find out its not but since its open i cant send it back. im still not sure i checked the cometic website and checked the #'s and the picture it show's looks like my old one, so i dont know maybe they put the wrong gasket in the box but holes dont line up i put the old gasket on top the holes dont line up

 

yeah thats way wrong i just got mine a while ago and it looks just like my stock one just thinner. you might want to call and double check on what they sent you.

 

i talked to someone from cometic he told me to email him that was tuesday he send me a email back like 3 mins after i sent the first one asking to see the sticker maybe just wanted to see if it was sold through them well that was 2 days today ago no calls and no email back yet, and they take FOREVER to make it and send it. that set me back like a week if they even take it back they must have put the wrong gasket in the box cause there is no way that it will work on my block and my motor is gonna rust if i have to wait much longer. it takes 3 days to make and like 2-3 to get to cali depending on what they wanna do like having me send the wrong on back first thats another 2-3 on top of the week it takes for them to make it and send it.

 

call the dude in my sig. if you need it bad and quickly I believe he has some in stock up to 84mm. good luck

 

looks wrong.

 

i got a 81.5mm 0.036" cometic hg. hit me up if your interested, im in cali also.

you mean mike from highend i know mike for a long time already i called but he didnt have the one i need.

 

HAHA i called back since they dont and the guy told me i was given a gasket for a peugeot/citroen. its sad cause i wont see my new gasket until maybe like the 28th i look dumb every other day turning my crank and tryin to keep the block from getting rust

 

tell mike to get off his *** and call around. I know because when we need something for the race car we get it quick.

 

haha i think if i had my brother call he would have jumped with me he wont jump he will skip tho try to help but more for my brother. well i hope they call soon it kinda sucks they said we will call back soon that was like 2 hours ago, i was told i need to talk to returns about getting a new one so nothing is even being done yet.

 

you can put petroleum jelly on the inside of the cylinder walls so it wont rust, theres somthing else u can use but i forget what

 

spray some wd40 on it, or just coat it with motor oil

 

oh i been doing that but i ordered the gasket aug. 28 or something a month to get the gasket it sad but im still waiting for a call back to see what they are going to do

 

for cometic gaskets good stuff for the policy i had to buy a new order from them wait for them to send me a new gasket send the old wrong one they sent me and was told i should get my money back in 2-3 weeks i dont wanna look like a punk like im try to complain BUT i had my money spent in my mind the money i had to pay to them was for my header so i had to tell the guy to wait(will see if he does) and wait to get my money back and i have to pay to ship the wrong one back
