Default Question concerning using hondabond on ls head gasket (lsvtec)

The oldone (endyne) states:

We customarily spread a thin amount of Hondabond around the oil return ports (six of them) on each side of the gasket before installation. This insures that the gasket will properly seal the misaligned oil ports that cause leaks on so many LS/VTEC build-ups.

Where are the oil return ports located ?
Does anyone else practice this method ?

I am having major problems with my headgaskets not sealing my oil/coolant....
My oil/coolant mixes... :-/

For the most part I do not see any leaks from the cylinder head...

Any help would be great.

ive never heard that one before.... the only thing ive seen problems with on DOHC motors is that the plastic cam seal can warp a bit and start leaking. Easily fixed with an aluminum seal however.

Have never tried hondabond on headgaskets before, but i dont see why it wouldnt work;hondabond is great stuff . copper spray works good too.
What kind of dowel pins are you using?If you drilled the head for them, check if the dowel pin goes in far enough.
