What you get in an eBay head gasket kit.

Even with the kit there were a few gaskets I ended up having to go to Honda for. IACV and FITV gaskets are Honda and anything behind the oil pump will need to come from Honda also. Aside from that I have zero leaks anywhere on the engine.

when i usually do a headgasket, i only remove what is needed just to get the head off and the intake can be taking off as one piece which would mean i wouldn't even need the upper plenum gaskets.

The intake gaskets are included, so I figure why not replace those while I'm at it.

If you're swapping the headgasket on an otherwise good engine then definitely. My experience with this kit was during a rebuild of a replacement engine that I didn't know the history on while also converting it to an F22A6 with parts original to the car. And the car was from some kid in Arkansas who threw a rod in it and wouldn't perform maintenance to save his life. So in my case EVERYTHING was replaced.

So how has this gasket kit held up on the car?

[Jarrett]

Mine has done great. I can say that it has even stood up to an overheat caused by non-functional fans. I bought the car non-running and apparently the previous owner broke a wire on the fan switch connector that I didn't catch when I pulled the engine to replace it with the rebuilt one. My fault, really, as I should have noticed it.

Anyway, I'd say I was pretty impressed with it. I even drilled out the rivets and removed three of the five layers. I used some copper spray as added insurance and it went strong until I parked the car to overhaul the body and interior.

Thats great! I have to replace the Fel-pro headgasket on my GF's coupe, it just leaks oil everywhere. My fault I suppose, should have used copper spray and new headbolts. Live and learn.

Thanks man
