H22 88.5mm bore, which head gasket?

hey guys
This may sound like a stupid question but I'm unsure. I have a 88.5mm bore and cometic offers 88mm and 89mm bore sized head gaskets. Which size do I choose?

Thanks

Go Cometic 89mm in the thickness that you desire. Many believe that having a head gasket sized slightly larger than the actual bore to eliminate the possibility of a hot spot on the gasket edge. With that in mind, consider this: The factory "B" series VTEC head gasket is sized at 81.50mm from the factory. This would be larger than both a stock set of pistons and a .25mm over sized piston set.
