81.5mm bore, can I still use an oem headgasket?
Hi,
I will be building a new block in the upcoming weeks, and I want to know if I can use a stock bore 81mm headgasket on a block bored out to 81.5. I thought that I had read here a while back that its ok. I don't want to buy another Cometic if I can help it, and Honda doesn't list overbored hgs (I looked at Majestic)
Thanks

But you are right, the HG actually looks pretty damn good for a cheapie kit. I was surprised.
