Just go to the nearest Honda dealership and get yourself a oem b20 headgasket. Can't go wrong with it.

Make sure you blow it out with air first, I've seen shavings inside.

If they leak , then its an OEM headgasket gone faulty or not torqued correctly.
GE modifies OEM Honda headgasket 3-layer, not a cheap 2-layer gasket.
