is the head gasket for a 94 2.2 L non vtec prelude the same as a 94 2.2 L vtec prelude?

a SOHC head and a DOHC head? I seriously doubt it.

F series and H series engines?

yeah...the prelude s motor and the prelude vtec motor

i went to checker to get a head gasket kit for a 94 prelude vtec h22a1 and it gave me a specific part number. when the kit came, it had the same part number but was labeled for a SOHC prelude. but it had the statment "Application coverage could apply to more than whats listed above" the intake manifold gasket and the exhaust manifold gasket did not fit, but the head gasket did so we used it. Now i'm leaking a little bit of oil from the rear driverside corner of the block and head....i'm assuming it's that?

Are you sure you torque'd the head bolts down to spec?

no they are not the same part number
