Hi,
So I will be replacing ALL the gaskets in my B16A2, since I recently bought the car and I want the engine to run as smooth as possible. But here in the country that I live in (Iceland) the local shops don't sell the whole kit so I'll have to order from outside the country and since I want to avoid buying from Ebay I have been looking into these one's Honda OEM B16 Top End Gasket Kit - JDM Honda Parts USA

But being the noob I am in the car scene I'm wondering if these gaskets will fit my B16A2 since the title says B16A/B18C5. Now I know that my engine is a B-series as these ones but again will the gaskets for a B16A fit my B16A2?

Oh and since we're on the topic, what does Top End Gasket and Bottom End mean?

 

Top end - everything above the block. Bottom end - everything on and below the block.

 

Cool, thanks for the answer

 

B16A gaskets will fit your B16A2. Are any of these gaskets actually leaking? Either way, be sure to buy Genuine Honda gaskets. If not, they'll likely leak after you replace them.

 

There are reliable non-OEM options out there, but that listing says it's OEM, so there is that.

 

I didn't click the link. But "OEM" is used as internet slang for "stock".

Also...OEM doesn't mean genuine Honda. For example, Exedy clutch kits can be purchased as a non-Honda OEM kit since they are the original equipment manufacturer. Gates T belts would be another example.

 

I don't often say this about retailers, but I would trust JHP to ship real OEM parts, most likely from the OEM manufacturer (not Honda, but whoever made them for Honda before the stealership markup).

 

Ah! Didn't see it was a JHP auction. Yes...they're probably dealership spec (genuine) parts.

 

I'd prefer OEM, more trustworthy I suppose.

 

Actually the motor was full of oil, I had to wash the whole thing, I could barely see the reference in the motor.

 

Your motor was long overdue for some maintenance.....

 

If your tearing down for a gasket replacement, might as well do the bearings as well. everything is right there.

 

Hone block for new rings and spec the bearings properly and you should be golden, just adding on to the quote.

 

Brand: Stone
Any idea who they are?
I don't have the slightest clue off the top of my head.

Though a couple searches for 'Stone Gasket' come up with decent quality references.

Eh, I say F it and do it, better than some Felpro options imo.

 

Inspires so much confidence.

 

Honing the block was something I had in mind already actually but thanks for saying that anyways .

 

JHP sells honda oem stuff but you still need to double check to confirm if the kit is from Honda or an aftermarket.
