The block is now sleeved, new 9.0:1 forged pistons, SCAT rods, re-worked crank. Now It is time to get the head on there but I don't know what head gasket to go for.

Any recommendations here?
Some people have said go with OE Honda gasket but I will be building this motor for some serious abuse and need it to last more than a year before I need to change the gasket.
I'm use to applications where you use a MHG to withstand the high boost levels but I just want to make sure what I get will work and stand up to some good power numbers.

Let me know what you suggest.

OEM honda will be fine.
A golden eagle head gasket is just an oem one but bored out to different sizes.
The other option is cometic.
But I would go with OEM unless you need a different bore size or thickness.

Personally i've been running on an OEM headgasket for years now. I recommend that since you have the motor out and want that piece of mind, I'd take your block and get it O-ring'd. My prelude makes almost 700hp and i'm on OEM with out and O-ring'd block but if i do pop the motor which i'm sure i will. the next one will be O-ring'd.

Already o-ringed. Don't want to pop the motor again :P

OE HG it is then. Now on to the good parts :P

Car is going under the knife this weekend. Hope to have the old motor out and apart to view the extent of the damage I have done to her.
