Valve cover gasket

Valve cover gasket is currently like 1 - 2 monthsMAX old. doesnt currently leak. If i remove the valve cover to inspect the valve springs/lash can I re-use that gasket or should i get a new one.??

You can reuse it if it's not stretched too bad.

I've re-used valve cover gaskets that were like 10 years old!!! never had a problem yet. I do use Hondabond on the specified corners though

for sure... just inspect it and make sure its not cracked or dried out or anything like that... apply the honda bond in the corners and your good.

i've reused my gasket a whole bunch of times.
