I had no issues with the ebay headgasket. From seeing other headgaskets from the parts store, and comparing it to the factory LS one, it looked to be the same quality to me.

the second seller, very quick shipping, but the kit I bought was mislabeled, so I have a VTEC valve cover gasket instead of non VTEC, I was refunded $5 for the mistake, no biggy I wanted the thinner HG anyways.

I've ordered two sets from the 2nd seller already. Everything worked out fine for me, and the shipping was very fast.

I bought a complete gasket set from seller domesticgaskets

I recieved it yesterday. I haven't installed any, but it looks like all of them will fit fine. I've had my share of crappy gaskets, and these do not look low quality at all.

The only thing I noticed was that the HG feels a bit thicker than usual. Maybe that's just me tho.

It could be. I've had parts store ones that were a lot thicker than most.

Compare it to the OEM one, I know mine was similar thickness if not the same.

ive used those before. I refuse to use an aftermarket seal in critical locations; headgasket, rear main seal, cam seal. Seen wayy too many leak to risk re doing a job over again.

Same thing I thought before using it.

I was installing it on a car I was selling, so it wasnt a big deal really for me. But after I saw the HG last even with untuned boost and twice reused head bolts, I feel differently about them.
