Guys, I'm trying to get some used intake and exhaust gaskets for my d16y8. I need to port match the ports of my head, IM, and exhaust manifold. Why not just buy them from honda? I'm gonna buy the whole top end kit which comes with all that stuff, but I don't want to spend the money to buy the whole thing ($145?), when I only need those two gaskets as patterns for port matching. (I have alot of machining costs coming up) :P
Anyway, if you guys have any of these laying around the garage floor or something, please let me know. Thanks.

When I got the longblock, it didn't come with them. Turbo manifold and intake manifold bought seperately. The only ones I own are on my hf.

why cant u buy the top end kit and just use the new gaskets to make some on paper. then transfer to card board?

or even use the gaskets.. i dont think you can damage them just from holding them up to the head or the manifold.

I have a set of d16a6 gaskets, should be the same as far as I know..

The problem is I won't need the top end kit, until I pay for the $500 worth of machining I need before the top end kit. So I'm trying to accomplish this port matching without purchasing the whole kit and save the money to spend on the machining. Jeff, I believe "mechanic B" says there is a slight difference, plus, you already helped me out with those flywheel bolts. I would hate to make you ship two things in three weeks. (Your life would be hell. rofl.)

If they are in fact different, we are talking ---- hairs of differences, the only off the wall D-series intake/exhaust manifolds are the ZC/D16a1.

what is a ---- hair in mm?

Jeff, quit trying to do me favors. lol. I'll find some somewhere, plus, I really want the use the exact ones. You have to use exact stuff when building a 7 second D16. haha. Thanks doe.
