Using a Y8 headgasket will give you a little more compression since they are a thinner gasket. Use HONDA OEM for factory spec gaskets! They are much better than the aftermarket garbage you find out there.

Stock with ARP studs.

Make sure you torque them correctly, and you should never have a problem with the motor still N/A.
