Sorry to jump threads, but I do not want to derail yours. I am not sure what to do with my Civic, I keep looking for one I could afford, a D16y5 engine, etc. I would love to rebuild, or even better, have someone remanufacture, but money always seems to be something that I lack. Right now I just want to be able to get to and from work without borrowing Mom's car. When I researched redoing the head gasket on my Forester everyone said to use Fel-Pro, but Subaru proved it could not be trusted.
Majestic will ship me the head gasket for $45.02 and it may arrive as soon as July 5th. However, if I waste an entire cent on upgraded shipping, it could arrive as early as the third!
I can order a Fel-Pro gasket from the friendly neighborhood O'Reilly's for $39.99 or the full kit for $127. Autozone has the same kit for $129, but Napa has a 10% off everything sale and "only" asks $114 for the same part number.
Rockauto and Amazon both have it for $93, but Amazon says it would deliver by Tuesday. Rockauto would probably take another week.
Is Fel-Pro as good as Honda? Probably not, but I also do not know how long it will be before I lose enough compression to be a problem, and the Fel-Pro gasket will not be important when I rebuild, remanufacture, replace, or purchase another car.
