I noticed when I lined up the b18a head gasket to the b16a head some of the passages were partially blocked. Is this normal? I saw that Mr. gasket makes them especially for the ls/vtecs. Does anyone have any experience with those and does it solve the problem with lining up the passages. Thank you

 

I just used am OEM one on my crvt. The partially blocked holes should not be a problem.

 

cometic gaskets are also very good, sold from endyn at the http://www.theoldone.com
there really shouldnt be any problem with your gasket. just make sure you put the gasket on the right way. make sure the stamped numbers on the gasket are on the lower left hand corner of the block.

 

use oem ls gasket and dont worry about nething else
