Default Quick ? on a HG Kit

I'm doing a HG replacement on my D15B7. What do you guys think about this kit. It says "cross reference number is Felpro"...what does that mean? Is it reliable? Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.http://www.ebay.com/itm/92-95-1-5-L-...-/360378578906

Personally I will never use aftermarket major parts like those. Spending a little extra money on OEM parts is always a smart choice.

Felpro sucks big time. Never had a good experience domest or import. OEM is the way to go with these Hondas.

If you dont plan on beating on the car, a felpro (or the kit yours referencing), will work perfectly fine. As long as the gasket itself is not that BS composite it was from the factory.

That's always been my experience. Even if going aftermarket there are way better brands than Felpro. KP Gasket Co. makes a nice headgasket that looks exactly like OEM, but they aren't that much cheaper than OEM.
