Is the 91 dohc KA head gasket the same as a 98 KA?

Just wondering, since I have a 97-98 kouki s14 ka and now I need to put a head on it. The intake cam bearing is chewing itself up, so I'm going to put on my s13 head.

So I'm going to call some parts stores looking for a HG and I need/want the right one the first time.

I know the valve covers and intakes are different, not sure on the gasket. Go to a parts site and seach for a 91 and 98 see if its the same number

that can be off as well because some parts have the same number but actually arent the same

I have first hand experience. The gaskets are different. There is an area near where the gasket meets the front timing cover, that is not the same.

The valve cover, intakes, and valve cover BOLTS are different.

Actually, here you go. This is a picture from when I tried to use an S14 gasket on an S13.
