hi so im on a acura oem parts website
i see part #
12251-P75-004

• GASKET, CYLINDER HEAD (NIPPON LEAKLESS)

anyway
im on ebay
cheapest i see for OEM genuine is $88.25
now i see the next best thing $57 which is labeled
(i no some of you is gonna say its only 20 bucks, but its kinda same concept as buying OEM timing belt vs "gates" timing belt
all these honda markup prices add up a hefty amount )

Nippon Reinz Engine Cylinder Head Gasket 12251P75004 Acura Integra

im wondering is "nippon reinz" a OE manufacture kinda like Gates / all these other brands that honda contracts out to make their "oem parts"

building LSVtec and im going with a "LS" headgasket

E: closed i decided to go with it. im gonna buy it and let ya know!

website about them for future potential candidates.

 

You Can't use an LS gasket with a vtec head. Use the head gasket that belongs to the head you are using. Felpro makes an affordable gasket with a great success rate
