i was curious if you use a lube type sealant on your valve cover or buy the actual gaskets from honda?



parts 3 and 4.

or is using either really necessary?

 

Lol, with out those gaskets you will have oil everywhere. You get them cheaper from other places and can also reuse the old ones.

 

i figured that, just wanted to see if gaskets or lube is a better choice.

 

when you say lube do you mean like a hondabond or permatex type sealant ?

 

new gasket + some sort of high temp silicone sealant such as hondabond. I really wouldnt try to just use the hondabond lol

well if you go by the helms your actually supposed to use both. like you said

 

you'll end up with a huge mess if you just use honda bond or something similar

both seals #3 and #4 are Honda on mine, and i don't have any issues whatsoever

 

As long as the gasket is in decent shape, you can reuse it and apply Hondabond at the corners. If not, I think they run like $14 at a dealership.

 

i spent 10 on majestic. so theyll be here saturday.

thanks guys

 

its cheaper online, but the price for S&H online your better off going down to your local honda dealer. Of course i mean when your buying one item.
