There is oil leaking out of the botton of the valve cover on my JDM B16a which is on a 93 EG Civic Coupe. And I was looking at http://autopartsauthority.com and I nocited that they have two parts for sale a Cylinder Head Gasket and a Cylinder Head Gasket Set the price between the two is $57 for the Head Gasket and $160 for the Head Gasket Set. Which do I need? Do I get the one for a 94 Del Sol VTEC or 2000 Civic Si?

 

Or maybe need one of these http://www2.autopartsauthority...+Seal

 

Does anyone know?

 

u need a valvecover gasket, not head gasket

 

ohh and either gasket will work, but get the 00SI one its more common

 

Where can you get a valvecover gasket?

 

I want the cheapest way to fix this.

 

Do I need a valve cover gasket, cylinder head head, or cylinder head gasket set?

 

If it's just leaking at the bottom of the valve cover then all you is a valve cover gasket. If you don't have the money for a Honda one you can get it at any auto parts store.

Usually they have a gasket set for this too, but those usually come with the spark plug tube seals I think, so it's up to you.

 

just go to Napa, tell them what car you have and that you need a valve cover gasket. Take your valve cover off, clean the mating surface on the head and on the valve cover, put the new gasket on, and tighten everything back down.
