Default Honda Bond and More Valve Cover Question

I am getting ready to install the valve cover soon, yeah I've made lots of threads on them...

Ok, so hondabond, i've heard it works wonders but which do i buy. there is two types

Hondabond 4


Hondabond HT


The hondabond HT is the one that is priced more towards what everyone else said I would be looking to pay for [ $13-$15 ] but I just wanted to make sure I was going to order the right one.

And the last question is on the installation process itself. I have the helms manual, I've read it and I am still unsure of where to apply the hodnabond. It says to apply it to the "chain case and the no. 5 rocker shaft holder mating areas", is that on the VC itself or on the head of the car. Do I apply the hondabond on the gasket and stick it to the VC then apply a little more on the head and place the VC on top? or is the hondabond just going to go on the VC and gaskest. I feel that 4 dabs of the hondabond would not 'seal' the head too tightly to the VC.

Put the hondabond on the head of the car, not the VC.

Just fit the gasket into the new VC and then hondabond the head, then put head on top?

There is a generic Honda Bond HT, I believe its called Permatex Gray. It can be found at autozone. The back of the package will have interchange numbers on it. It about $5.00.. cheaper than the dealership.
