Default Golden Eagle HG vs.?

i need a new head gasket for my h22a, i went to advanced auto the other day and they say they have nothing and they mean nothing! not even any of they're warehouse's have anything either, they said it has something to do with the actual manufacturer (felpro). i went to napa and auto zone and its the same story.

so i have been reduced to ebay lol. i was looking around and i found a cometic gasket for $86 shipped and i stumbled on a golden eagle gasket for $120. I'm having a hard time deciding between the two. i know golden eagle makes good **** but is it really worth the $35 bucks more to get it?

ya i have searched and its hard to find it, every site says they have it then when i look at the brand its always like nippon, cometic, pretty much every off brand that isnt oem honda. there is one site that sells a crap ton of GENUINE HONDA PARTS, from brand new complete motors all the way down to oem rod bolts lol.

http://www.bkhondaparts.com

they have an oem complete cylinder head gasket kit but more than just the gasket comes with and the price is chillin at about $240 which is way above my budget lol. but i highly recommend that site for oem parts.

I believe the Golden Eagle headgaskets are OEM honda! the main reason why their more expensive is because they are cnc'd to a bigger bore than stock.
