Hondabond is recommended at the two seams where the cap meets the head, but I always put a thin bead around the whole thing just for good measure.

Re: (ThatGreenGsr)

If it's an aftermarket one, just coat the o-rings in a light swab of oil and install. You only have to Hondabond the OEM plastic ones.
