Wrong Head Gasket?

I ordered a Cylinder Head Gasket Set for my 2003 Civic EX from NAPA.
FEL-PRO p/n HS 26236PT. The pin diameter is 13.92 mm and the hole in the gasket is 11.14 mm. Whats up?

Most of us that have done head gasket jobs have used nothing but Honda OEM.. dunno what to tell you..

You can get it over-nighted from Majestic Honda (www.hondaautomotiveparts.com) for ~$180

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Sounds like a wrong gasket.
Is it MLS?
Compare to the original?

Re: Wrong Head Gasket?

I think the machine shop removed the pins. He must have installed the larger diameter pins in the cylinder head when he machined it or tested it. Is that possible
