The old gasket was leaking, so I bought a Fel-Pro, but everyone said it was guaranteed to fail, so I bought Hondabond, like the factory service manual recommended. Unfortunately, the paint started coming off inside, it began to rust, and when I used a can of gasket remover it removed the paint, just like it wasn't supposed to! I sanded, primed, painted, and cured in the oven, according to directions. The Hondabond says that it takes 3 days to fully cure at 77°F (25°C) and 50% humidity. People said to place a heater near it. I had a 1,500w heater as close as I could get it for most of a day and I taped bubble foil insulation around the front to keep out the wind and to keep in the heat. When that didn't seem to do anything I bought an oil pan heater and ran that for most of a day, with the bubble foil insulation.
Do you think the Hondabond didn't cure properly or the oil is leaking from above?
