im trying to get some money together and i want to rebuild the motor which is a b16a2. my question is what complete gasket kit should i get? oem kit is 195 shipped, ebay is shipped 60, and then theres felpro from autozone or discount auto. also on the valve seat seals what material does oem honda and felpro use? the ebay ones say they are viton valve seals so would that be better?

 

I am a super fan of OEM seals and gaskets. All the others just don;t work for me. OEM always works.

 

oem gaskets are going to be more fitting and snug and provide a better seal versus an aftermarket counterpart for the simple fact the aftermarket is going to be made more cheaply and less exact..

 

the ebay ones are a 50/50 chance of getting the incorrect set. oldskoolda91 on here bought an ebay set, and ended up spending what the kit costs AGAIN at the auto parts store getting the right ones. i'd suggest either autozone, or the stealership for gaskets.
