Default d16y8 blown headgasket went out

best route? Anyone selling gasket kits on this site? Should i stick with oem or go cremetic? I hear alot of different opinions. So I'm going to ask the question now to get my answer.

i hear a cremetic with a oem on top? whats the real best way to go? the engine is completely stock.

If you dont plan on racing it Napa gaskets are fairly good. Im actually sporting one in my GSR right now. No leaks what so ever.

im no mechanic but im sure i can do it myself. i should get the whole gasket set? including all this..

- Intake manifold
- Exhaust manifold
- Cylinder head gasket
- Valve cover gasket
- Cam seals
- Valve seals
- Valve cover seals and grommets
- Injector seat o-rings


im trying to find pictures showing where the "valve seals" the "valve seal grommets" these are very small and I'm not too sure where all these go.... and this will be my 1st headgasket repair XD

You should be fine with a head gasket kit set from Honda...It will include the valve guide seals as well...But not the injector o rings.
