it is time to build this engine. i swear by stock o.e. head gaskets, but im in a dilema. o.e. gasket with solid deck sleves? i hope so, please tell me. searched but didnt find anything difinitive.
i thought with the solid deck and the stand alone deck of the stock motor this would pose a problem. thanks

 

stick with oe gasket shouldnt have any issue.

 

even with the solid deck sleves, thats all i am worried about. thanks.

 

yes even with the solid deck sleeves we use them on the darton solid deck all the time

 

i appreceate the fast reply. saved me 90 bucks. on an engine set that i needed anyway.

 

Gotta love oem honda products, wish aftermarket parts were half as reliable.

 

i dont know about all that. if honda rods and istons were good, i wouldnt need crower. he hee....buti know what you mean.
