Default -Oil Seals, Hondabond or not?--

Replacing the:

Valve Cover Gasket
Dizzy O Ring
Two Vtec Solenoid Gaskets
Cam Cap

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

Thanks

you dont need to for the valve cover gasket, distributor o-ring or vtec sol gaskets. You do need to for the cam cap seal.

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.
