Soooo, I ordered the Eristic multilayer metal Gasket kit for my civic. I have a D16Z6 engine and that's what I ordered for. The package says D HONDA D16B5? Do these two share a gasket kit? I'm not even gonna lie. I'm pretty new to Honda so if this is a retarded ? feel free to bash as long as there's an answer in the bashing.

ive used d15 headgaskets on 1.6's to lower compression... pretty much all of the d series headgaskets from 88-00 are the SAME... im pretty sure it should fit just make sure u get the right side UP...

the only different gaskets that wont work is the dohc zc gasket.. those are different... but other then that a sohc headgasket is the same as every other sohc hg.. the only difference is the thickness and if its paper or metal

Thanks I figured I'd be okay, but wanted to check before I pull the head and run into problems

51.40 shipped for the upper gasket kit????

I just ordered the same thing. Looks like all OEM parts just repacked.

D16B5 = GX motor..........

yeah, I paid $5 more, but still seemed like a good deal.
