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?

Re: headgasket option
 

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.

we are all cheap, no $$ for baller builds like you

Re: headgasket option
 

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

I did not know inline pro make headgaskets, 2mm is too thick for me anyways, I only use stock thickness.

Re: headgasket option
 

yea they make 2 and 3mm..

call and ask for jeremy allen or brian fischer.. both know what the deal is and are great guys..

a 2mm h/g dropped my gsr from 10.2 cr to around 9.4-9.6

they have reg sizes too man.

Re: headgasket option
 

I've never had an issue with cometics, but I've always put them in motors with freshly machined surfaces.

---- ive even re-used them

I am was a 9.0.1 comp with the mahle pistons
I was at 8.8.1 with the wiseco.

thanks for the info though since this is a headgasket option thread every option is helpfull.

I know plenty of people with cometic problems including myself. ordered 1 from tuner toys, ordered 1 from importparts, 2 from ebay, and they blew prematurely, or leak oil somewhere. my friend when trough 2, my other freinds 2 . we all switch to oem never had an issue.
even when I called ben yesterday and ask what he think he told me the same about cometic issues.
last time I ran a oem b20 gasket, no issues blew the motor and the gasket looks great.
