If i had to replace a head gasket on a b16a would I have to buy a whole kit as mentioned below or just the head gasket ?

MLS head gasket

• Exhaust manifold gaskets
• EGR gaskets (as needed)
• Valve cover gaskets
• Distributor gaskets
• Carburetor gaskets
• Air cleaner gaskets
• Thermostat housing gasket
• Intake and exhaust valve stem seals
• Throttle body gaskets (as needed)

Depends how much you want to replace.

You can just replace the hg.

Check out what else needs replacing as it might be more sensible to replace the lot.

If not, just hg will be fine

i think its leaking oil into my coolant and that's how I know the head gasket might be busted.

If your head gasket is leaking, just replace it. Don't worry about the others.
