the d16a1 (and maybe the dohc zc, im not to sure) head gasket is not metal, its graphite. Thast why people say get an hks mls one for about $115.
Thats too much money IMO, and they are getting harder to find, so I plan to get a copper HG made for about $60.

i believe there was a TSB about those HG for EF's back in the day. my old CRX Si had 245k when i took it apart and i believe its was the original carbon/paper HG
