98 civic head gasket

hey guys, im doing a mini me swap and i have all the parts except i need a new head gasket cuz the old one cant be re-used, correct?

does anyone know where i can get a cheap one from the GTA or is it best just to go to any honda dealership and buy a oem one?

thanx

do not use an old headgasket, its already been "compressed" and will leak...

save yourself the time and aggravation and buy a new one... I would suggest an oem one for that head..

also, you NEED new head studs. Head studs are torque to yield, so of they've been used ONCE, they're garbage. Reusing head studs will result in blown head gaskets all the time.
