I just want a good one that seals nicely with stock head bolts. I was thinking OEM honda, but any other suggestions would be fine.

I agree. I'm going to use an overbored Honda head gasket from GEM.

is it true I should replace the head bolts too?

if so, do I need 1-#7 headgasket and 10-#19 (bolts)?

thanks,
mike

ARP headstuds would be the best way to go as they are reusable and provide added strength over stock headbolts. Paul

thanks..btw: before I get this fixed for sure, should I try taking the valve cover off and making sure the bolts are torqued?

thanks,
mike

i am saying, should I make sure the bolts on the head right now are torqued or should I torque them more to try and stop the leak?

Thanks again guys!,
