Has anyone recently purchased a complete gasket kit/set ? 

I'm only interested in best quality kit that would include sticky head gasket.

Based on your experience, what manufacturer brand of gasket set do you recommend ?

Does Honda have available complete gasket sets ?

Where do you recommend sourcing gasket set ?

Thanks in advance !

Hello Steve
as far i know complete gasket are not available from honda.

the best in my opinion is to order the Veshra gasket set and to order  a honda cylinder head gasket 
forget the Athena gasket set all the oring are not at the really good size..
and usually the seller of aftermarket gasket set write for K0 to K6( that impossible because the size of some hole change) and they sent you the gasket head for  k4tok6
check on yamiya there is 2references for k0 to k3 it a reference with the little hole
k4 to k6 the big hole.

About the cylinder head gasket from Honda take, the double face Sticky ( you will have one hole more on the gasket due to the screw missing on the middle of the cylinder head (like all the sandcast) but it's not a problem forthe installation of it on  my 10004869 got this kind of gasket without problems since 10 years. there is possibility to find the original in NOS parts but he will be not sticky.

hope that can help you
Benji

I have good experiences with Athena gasket kits. These gaskets fit well.

I've had good luck with the Vesrah sets.  I've also bought a set from Yamiya but only because it included the sandcast oil pan gasket and had good luck with it too.  However it would have been cheaper to use the Vesrah kit and source the oil pan gasket separately.  In all cases, to help prevent oil leaks, I used the head gasket recommended in Honda Service Bulletin #42, part number 12251-300-070 which also requires o-rings part number 12115-300-305.  For those not familiar with this service bulletin here's a link:

I've never seen a "sticky" head gasket.

Dear Mark,
about  sticky it's because there is silicon on the 2 faces of the gasket

This gasket kit has the early sump gasket and a copper faced head gasket. It's a complete gasket set from what I can see.
