The top ones are easy I hope I don't need tp change the bottoms as well. Do you think having all that oil in there would make my car all shakey and stuff? I hope that gos away when I change the plugs again and theres no more oil in the plugs as well...
the oil seals you speak of are loacted in slots undereath on the valve cover. pop them out and replace them. there are only 4 seals.
Thats crazy the 2nd link that I posted says there 4 on top and 4 on bottom of the rockers... Should I change my valve cover gasket as well? Thanks in advance i'm new to all this its my first project...
but just make sure you put the smaller side faceing to the bottem, they can go on 2 ways. just make sure you put them on right...once there on there on, trying to sav'em you will F them up...

oh, btw, those fel pro ones are garbage. I was doing a repair on a crx out of town a couple years back with no Honda dealer around, only to have fel pro available, they do not fit anywhere near as well as oem
I'm not sure about making it shaky, but fixing the issue will definately make it run better as it will not have to burn the oil off everytime it fires. It is one of the easiest fixes there is, takes all of about 15-20 depending on how much time you spend "just looking at it"....
Really? My Fel-pro seals fit perfect.... well the valve cover gasket fit a little goofy but it worked
Meh, i mean yes, they are round and fit in the hole, not not nearly as nice as the oem part. The oem gaskets, also often have the little nubs that help holp them in place during install. I worked for Honda for years, and can really tell the difference in fitment between oem and aftermarket
