Default Ls/vtec oil leak

First time putting on the Cometic head gasket and it leaks at the corner under the vtec solenoid.

So, i took it off, spray it down with break cleaner, then sprayed a few layer of copper spray.

Threw it back on and it still leaks, and now it leaks at the cover where the timing belt side is at.

Car is also spitting out black gunk sometimes only.

My question is... Can i take it off, clean it, and put Honda bond on it to seal it for good.

OR do i have to buy a new one?

I also know that i should have checked my cam seals, vtec solenoid seals, and dizzy seals first :/ but i didn't and i just went straight to spraying my gasket. Now it leaks on the other side where the timing belt is at.

that answers my leaking problem, thanks kingofbattle909

I will most likely buy a b16 kit from golden eagle that comes w/ head gasket and all other goodies.

Now, for the last question like how i said above

"My question is... Can i take it off, clean it, and put Honda bond on it to seal it for good.
