Unless you have done it before don't try it on your caR for the first time, Have someone who knows how to do it teach you then attempt it next time.
I do it every 15,ooo miles, and mine is do now...

that's not necessary.. 30k is fine, 15k if you beat on it.. any sooner only if you think it was done improperly or there is a problem..
I've seen them for anywhere from $40 to $80 at the stealership.. varies a bit..

I find that checking it frequently; You dont have to adjust too many, only the couple that are out of spec.
I check mine approx. every 10k miles. And you can reuse all the gaskets. Most of the times I didnt use Hondabond either.
