I have heard good things about the Nippon head gasket. Honda sells them.

hondaautomotiveparts.com where you can search for parts. I have the nippon leakless now after the head swap and no leaks yet. You want to stick with stock, so that it will blow if there's a problem. Aftermarket is stronger, and you won't know if there's a problem until it's too late.

I think different kinds of head gasket have different thickness so that it changes your compression ratio and displacement.

they are practically the same but the ex gasket the holes a bit bigger....or it just may have been the two different ones, just a manufacturing line defect...i don't know....but it would seem like the holes need to be a bit bigger...less restrictive

I know that EX has 9.9:1 compression and LX has 9.5:1. If that info helps.
