I would replace it as soon as you can. A stock head gasket will be fine as far as size goes. Just order one from Cometic they make very high quality gaskets. Heres a link to their site. Just get the bottom top end kit number: C7924. Or just call honda and get a stock head gasket from them since they sell them separately.

you could just ride it but what if it blows on you while you're riding. might as well just replace it now.

Cometic makes 2 kinds of gaskets. Make sure the one you get is the multi layered steel viton coated aka MLS. Otherwise the paper gaskets they have are no better than stock.
