Cheap intake, exhaust, and valve cover gaskets are ok IMO, but I wouldn't skimp on the head gasket. Get a quality Multi Layer Steel one if you can.

I don't skimp on any gaskets. OEM Honda all the way. Especially after I price compared and the prices at my dealer are the same or better than any third party manufacturer.

The only felpro gasket I've ever used is intake and exhaust manifold gaskets.

Thanks. I just ordered the Felpro set off of Amazon. Cost one bill. I have had very good luck with Felpro over the years with my Chevys.
