Okay, so my 85mm Cometic gasket came in the mail finally. I compared it to the stock B20 headgasket I have laying around. The Cometic doesn't line up worth a crap. The Cometic gasket also has the oil supply hole in it that is used only for vtec blocks.

The Cometic lines up perfectly with every passage on my B16 head though.

Could this be a reason so many people have had Cometic gasket sealing problems on frank motors? Essentially, Cometic sent me a bored B16 gasket, not a bored B20 gasket like I need.

 

they just sent you worng gasket thas all ... I have both types when I order my cometic. Send it back without opening and get the 85mm vtec one.

you mean "get the 85mm non-vtec one."

 

Considering they build the gaskets, you'd think they'd know what works.

 

As I said in your other post, i have never gotten the wrong gasket from cometic
thus far. But if you are having so many problems, you should just use a crv gasket
from the dealer instead.
