tell me best technique to replacing gaskets without leaking...
i changed the valve cover off and now i put on new gaskets even o-Rings... 2 spark plugs keep getting flood and leaks around the valve cover. i did this two times with different brand names of new gaskets for the B18C. still leaking on me.
how do u guys do it without leaking? i stayed at factory torque. i even added little of the gasket seals also. any simple techniques?

Use OEM gaskets or get a new valve cover. If the gaskets are perfect then its most likely a warp or deformation in the valve cover that the gasket can't seal.

no, it didnt leak on corners the whole week i drove i didnt c any oil anywhere. after that week the car lags on acceleration. i checked the plugs an was flooded with oil. now i added, thats wat its called "silicon", on the rings and didnt do the corners so now still leaking in the plugs and corners.

theres little rubber groments that go around the spark plug holes to stop the oil from going through... Check to see if they're still there.. For the actual gasket.. you might try honda bond

I dont because I've never had that problem.. But I'd read tons and tons of post where people recommended it...
