i will be replacing my timing belt, i thought it would be a good idea to replace the headgasket as well. im going with a cometic hg, afterhourzracing has them on the site but which one should i get .030? .03+ etc i want to keep the compression ratio at oem
should i replace the head studs w arp or just go w oem ?

 

Just get a OEM gasket.

 

the .030 is o.e.m thickness

i got mine from http://www.nipponpower.com on the website it says $99.95 for the gasket
if you call them directly it only cost $79.95...hmm...i know it sounds funny ...try and call them to order it if you havent already

peace

 

FYI, mugen gaskets do not work well on B18A motors...

I have one on my car, and the dowell pin holes in the gasket were too small (dremeled it) and it appears to be seeping oil slightly on the front of the motor.

i can get the cometic for 75-80 bux, anyone know how much one would cost from acura dealership?

Should be 60 or so.

Stock is best whenever possible.

.029"
