Default Which side of gasket to apply hondabond...

I've searched and can't find the answer I'm looking for. I'm going to install a new valve cover and gasket. I am wondering if I'm supposed to apply hondabond on the head side, the cover side, or both sides of the gasket.

Don't apply it all around, just in the corners where it goes over the cam caps. The rest will just squeeze out and make a mess.

I know that, my question is concerning which SIDE of the gasket to put it on.
Thanks though.

So I should put the hondabond on the head side? This is contradicting the other guys suggestion.

1. Turn the valve cover upside down.
2. Install the valve cover gasket.
3. Apply a small dab of Hondabond to the corners of the valve cover gasket where the valve cover goes over the cam caps. You should have 4 spots on a single cam, 8 on a dual cam.
4. Install valve cover and tighten bolts.
5. Perform burnout.

I used to have the video for it. The guy in the silver one with black stripes isn't burning his tires, he's burning his clutch.
