Do I need honda parts?
How important is it to use Honda parts?
I have a 97 accord 2.2L.
I am going to chance valve cover gasket, spark plug wires and spark plugs.
I know I need NGK plugs. But what about the wires and the gasket? Name brand? Buy from Honda dealership?
Heard of felpro valve covers?
Thanks

Re: Do I need honda parts?
I rarely buy Honda parts from a dealership.
There are however, a few key exceptions.
I always use OEM headgaskets and bearings, other than that I typically shop oreillys or autozone and purchase dealer parts out of necessity.
There's nothing wrong with felpro gaskets.

I hadn't given them much credit in the past either, but have recently installed them on a few cars for friends and family with good results.

The trouble I've had with brands other than NGK is separation of the wire from the clip next time the plugs need changing, swelling of the boots in the head/plug tube and lastly (more of a tiddieness issue) the wire insulation diameter isn't the same so they don't fit nicely into the wire clips.
NGK plugs and wires (IMO) are hands down the best you can get for anything short of an all-out, purpose-built race motor.
