top end gasket set recomendations
Bryanj:
All head gaskets are now thicker than Honda original due to no asbestos used in manufacture but the suppliers still give you the original size O rings so they dont seal as well.
If you go to the US site and look up Mark Paris (Hondaman) he can sdvise on size, i dont have all my books to hand
neat street:
Thanks Brian, good to know and will have saved some headaches later. :-)
DomP:
Maybe get the block skimmed which will make the oring recess slightly shallower, that's what I did following Brian's advice after he rebored my block. I used Vesrah gaskets from DS
Johnwebley:
I have a local source for most O rings
A company called Hayley Group
On a local industrial estate, the Hereford branch are really helpful,
Imperial, metric,fuel resistant etc,
And the bonus, normally a fraction of the cost of NOS,
Take a sample, and the item, like tappet cap ,they will find the size needed

It depends which gasket set you use as to the size O rings you will need. All the kits have different depth head gaskets.
