LS hg's aren't that expensive...look for the fel-pro mls gaskets from somewhere like advance auto or Vatozone. Think I picked one up for under $40.

Go with the Fel-Pro. Federal Mogul makes it and they are a big ---- gasket, brake, and other cancer causing products company. ARP studs would safe your *** way before a headgasket sold by Honda, which is probably made by Federal Mogul anyway.

Well, I compared the fel-pro and oem honda hg's side by side and honestly I don't see any noticable difference between the two.

I run that HG on my LS-vtec at 15psi and had zero problems, its all about the deck/head surfaces
