I'm rebuilding my 440, what are the best head and base gaskets to use that won't cause any problems. Also, I may be boring the 440 to .10 or .20 over because of some scoring in the sleeve, can I still use 440cc gaskets, or do i need special ones for the slightly larger bore? Thanks

Some people will tell you that one gasket is better than another. I found out after going though about 3 head gaskets. that my problem was not the gaskets, but the head bolts. Get the larger head bolts and you can use just about any gasket. the problem is that Honda use's headbolts that will only work with the stock bore. With the extra compression and the larger displacement the bolts will come out of the head. The larger bolts will not.

from what ive heard the copper ones are better but they are more pricey.
