Is there any difference in the gaskets for the open or closed deck engines? If so do you know what your engine is? 92-96 H22's are closed deck.

Probably not all, 92-96 would be though.
If its the Euro-R/H22a7 I would go on the assumption that its the same as a 97-00. It being very similar to the 99+ H22a8. I would try and double check this though.

What does open deck mean?
The liners on the red top are surrounded by water jacket

An open deck block has a gap around the top of all the bores. Check google images. I'm pretty sure the head gaskets are different so make sure to get the right one.

Cheers guys
I was going to originally keep the original gasket and nip it up a few more Nm but since this comes with a new gasket I will use the new 1
But is the gasket set any good???
