Replacing the:

Question though, do I need to use Honda Bond on any of these?
Thanks

while i agree you really dont need the honda bond on the valve cover gakset, honda's instructions are to apply some at the 90deg corners that go around the cam cap humps. i've gone both ways on this, and neither caused a leak. when i am in a rush, i just let it slide, if i have time, i will clean it all off and hondabond the corners per the helm manual.

well hondabond is MAGIC
but i would recommend on the camseal and the corners of the valve cover gasket. sometimes i put a thin layer on the back part of the valve cover towards the firewall... since an h22 doesnt sit even oil tends to leak from the back part.
