Hi all :)
I need suggestions, advice, opinions on what head gasket to get for my new engine project. It's a JDM B20 to be paired with the P8R head. No cam upgrades to the head. Will use ARP head studs. Bottom end of the engine will remain stock.

Genuine Honda

I dont feel like clicking on the links, but I would go with OEM unless the GE is a thinner gasket (1 or 2 layers) to bump compression slightly.

I think out of all the people on here with non-vtec motor's you are one of three people with a P8R head.

No one happens to know if there is a site that sells P8R's do they? I've searched but can't find one, online or locally...

You may be able to find one on eBay. They pop up every so often around me in Va, but never close enough or a good enough price to make me pick up an extra. Only way you would get one from a shop or whatnot would be to purchase an imported non-vtec motor and verify the head is a P8R. I doubt a shop that imports motors to sell them would be willing to separate the block from the head.
