Just ordered the Z1 metal gaskets to hopefully finally solve my gasket woes. Im am totally offended by the cost though. First, it costs $40 for the gaskets ( they are sold in pairs).

Ken popped his head in here last night to say goodbye. He can be found on a Honda Fit forum.

Good job getting the proper gaskets. I'm sure this will be your last time you spend under your car changing a blown gasket.

You guys in the U.S. have it good. Shipping to Canada would be at least double that price, then FedEx would add another $40 in brokerage, duties, taxes, and misc fees.

Yeah, that would be the best. As it stands now, I have a minimum 4 hour one way trip to a Canada/U.S. border It just means that I have to be more savvy with how and where I buy my parts. Having said that, 100% of my parts have be purchased from U.S. based stores.

Yeah, I'm going to check them out for my clutch install. It's even harder to find competent people to work on these cars in Ontario. I've heard good things about AMS.
