Id have to agree. http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com gets a big Every time I have used them they ship very quickly and their prices cant be beat. Also I know of no other Honda OEM parts site that actually has all the diagrams broken down in the same way you see in the parts dept. at the dealer. According to the website The head gasket kit for a SOHC VTEC 96-00 Civic is reg. $155.28 and their price is $116.44.
