Suggestions? Have your head resurfaced by a machine shop. Replace the gasket with one from a 96-00 civic ex. Is metal and much stronger

oook
i dont know bore sizes or head diffrences but im 99% sure a headgasket from a vtec motor and a 1.6l motor, wont work on a nonvtec 1.5l motor.

go buy a helms.

if you are not using studs, watch out for the dowels, they will scratch the head/block mating surface(s) IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL WHEN PUTTING THE HEAD ON THE BLOCK...also, pick up some Hylomar made by permatex and spray both sides of the gasket, let it set for 5 mins then install...
