i got 00 b16a2 and its stock internals and i wanted to change head gasket and use ARP head studs and put lil t3t4 and run like 8psi. but should i buy new OEM gasket from honda or some aftermarket is better. is COMETIC brand on ebay good. thanks guys

 

Do compression and leak down tests first. Chances are, you don't need to rip it apart for turbo prep.

 

I allready have tho hehe. I doing water pump n reast of gaskets n clean up underhood.

 

You already have it ripped apart, but don't have the gasket yet?

Go OEM. Don't worry about all those aftermarket names.

 

Do not buy an Ebay headgasket.

OEM or at least a Fel Pro.

 

Oem is always good but when i was getting arp studs they had some with head gasket n it was cometic brand n i didn't know if it was any good. Or better then oem

 

Its fine to use cometic, just as long as you order it with your corresponding final bore size. And make sure to compare the thickness of it and compare to your existing one (oem honda)

I personally would just use a honda Oem gasket for your plans.

 

Yea ill prob get oem honda. Thank you guys.
