i replaced the gasket and it leaked alot and then upon inspection i had a broke a mounting hole in half so i replaced rocker arm assembly and did everything to honda specs and the gasket still leaks but just when car is shut off or on a hill sideways does not leak as bad on level ground. the oil seeps out front pass side of valve cover. has new gaskets and the bolts are snug. what else could i do to stop this leak.?

Did you also use Hondabond and/or RTV Ultra grey?

kyden

did you put honda bond near the cam caps as per the service manual? cam seal?

Did you put rtv in the corners?

DelsolVted

no i did not but its not leaking by the cam caps but in front corner if i was goin to use rtv but was told not to bcuz it was a new gasket.

DelsolVted

i have black rtv stuff that ok or do i need ultra grey

motegicivic

According the service manual dab some in the corners, rtv should be fine. Don't go over board.

DelsolVted

ok well i did a thin strip and then smoothed it out so and the the cam caps on the gasket cuz it was a tight fit so hopefully this will stop my leaking.

motegicivic

Corners of the U recess I mean. Obviously if you know where it is leaking you can add a little rtv there.

Don't go crazy torquing the cover down.

so what after 3 hours of sitn i go for a drive and it still seeps out.

Wrona

i put red rtv on all the cam corners in my cars never had a leak make sure your valvecover is not warped and your head is clean before installing the gasket
