Default JDM Valve cover

Do I have to change the valve cover gasket when I change the valve cover on my dc5?

you'll need to get some hondabond from the dealership.

apply to all four corners, and be REAL CAREFUL when tightening the bolts, they break real easy. you may want to have a few extra just incase.

I changed my valve cover with 12,000 miles so I didn't replace my valve cover gasket. It didn't leak.

Looks nice! I didn't change the gasket either it felt nice and tough, just add the honda bond.
