headgasket option
 
I am boring my block from 84mm to 84.5mm, I used a stock honda original b20 headgasket with the 84mm setup, now I know that honda don't have a 84.5mm gasket, so what are my options?
*Cometic sucks, and cost $85 + S/H at tuner toys
*Golden eagle bore out a b16 gasket to 84.5 mm for $100, I think its a stupid idea to bore a 81mm to 84.5mm when you can bore a b20 84mm, I don't trust using it.
those are my only options, I had bad experience multiple times with cometic, never with oem. it seems like my only choice is cometic right now.
anymore options?

plus what would my displacement be now with a 84.5 bore ls/vtec?

ok ok ok.
I ended up getting the golden eagle one, since I've had multiple issues with cometic.
hope more people will add their experience maybe it can help others in the future.

When I got the golden eagle it's just a bored, overpriced oem.
