Default what should I replace/check with the valve cover off?

97 Acura Integra LS
Ok I'm looking to polish my valve cover and want to know what I should replace/check while it's off I got a new valve cover gasket set and a new cam seal. Anything else?? Also if anything else I've never done anything under the cover so a walk through/guide would be awesome. I work in a mechanic shop so I'm not inexperienced but not professional especially with Hondas.

You can check/adjust the valve lash. Just check with feeler gauges and if necessary adjust to within spec.

spark plug seals, vc gasket, cam seal.

thats what i did and its helped quite a bit. car ran a bit smoother,

but i have new fuel filter, vc gasket, spark plug seals, cam seal, new dizzy, new spark plugs, new spark plug wires and a valve adjustment.

my mpg went up and car runs better. easy things you can do yourself and pretty inexpensive
