they are OEM gaskets, you dont have to goto the dealership to get OEM gaskets

parts stores sell the same ---- for 1/3 of the price, it just doesnt have the honda NAME on it

Pretty much the only oem seals/gaskets you can get for a honda are actual genuine honda parts. I just dont see the point in cheaping out on gaskets unless the are easily changeable (like a valve cover gasket) Ive seen and had aftermarket gaskets (oil pan, valve cover, rear main seals, cam seals) leak and fail, somtimes immediatley. I got a genuine honda water pump, timing belt, oil pan gasket, front and rear main seals, cam seal, misc o rings etc for well under $200 shipped. True, aftermarket would have been cheaper, but i dont like doing jobs twice, especially if its a rear main
