OEM head gasket sizes

Post by A1ex » Mon Mar 30, 2015 1:38 pm

Need to get a new head gasket for the h22,

on the H-Tune site at the moment, but there's like 37 different options;

Anyone know the standard thickness of the OEM head gasket?

Apparently it might be 0.030" (0.76mm) according to a few Yanks on the net, so I'd wait to hear what others say.

Ok,

Did some poking around on the lings site and the head gasket is supplied by nippon;

So did some snooping around on egay and found these;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HEAD-GASKET-F ... 35dd28e540

Both claiming to be OEM approved. What do we think? Avoid or Not?

The first one also offers OEM head studs;

And a money back guarantee if not satisfied.

Has anyone dealt with id-workz before?

I assume you've been searching with the Honda part number 12251-P5M-004?...
