Default Valve cover gasket

Story: went to auto zone to simply pick up a valve cover gasket, and they had to order me the set. Went back, picked it up, changed it, and went about my biznass. I went to a buddies shop to sand blast my spark plugs, and changed the fuel filter. When i pulled the plugs out, there was about 2 inches of oil in each plug chamber! Damn that sucks! So now i dont trust those bastards so....


Question: where can i get a valve cover gasket for a 96 h22a1???????????

Problem isnt hte valve cover gasket, its the grommets that are circular and go around the plug holes. You probably lost a couple and didnt put them back, lol.

For the price you paid at Autozone you could have gotten an OEM valve cover gasket.

yeah it sounds as if you lost the spark plug seals. anytime you replace the valve cover gasket you usually replace the sparky plug seals and PCV valve seal.

And your point is?

For less than the price of an OEM valve cover gasket alone, he can have a brand new full set that's just as good.

My piont is OEM is better than the Autozone garbage in every way, and he could have gotten one for about the same price that he paid for the autozone one, I know really hard to understand.
