Painting Valve Cover question
I hear people say that when you paint your valve cover, you should get a new head gasket? Why is this? I have searched and nothing. Sorry if its a stupid question just making sure nah mean? -thanks

They are talking about a VALVE cover gasket, NOT the head gasket. Usually when you remove the valve cover, it is recommended you replace the gasket there. It's not necessary, just put some Hondabond on the edges and put it back.
Like the above poster said, just check the integrity of it. If it's bad, replace it, if not, leave it.
