Do the H-series VTEC engines have the adjusters down where you can't reach them like the B18C I had? On that, you couldn't reach down easily with a wrench. I used a deep socket, held in a pair of ViseGrips, & stick a screwdriver down thru the middle of the socket.

 

Desert Honda, are you in AZ??

 

There is another set of seals in there that leak; #15 in the attached pic, the rocker assy needs to be removed.

Digital cameras are fun to have

 

My only question is when Desert says to put Honda Bond "on the curved part of the valve cover gasket" does he mean the strange curved things on the ends of the valve cover or on each of the 4 corners or both???? Please see pic of gasket:

the ones in the middle of the gasket where the arrows point

 

The place where the gasket is most likely to leak (needs HondaBond) is the sharp corner where the gasket going over the camshaft joins the flat horizontal part of the gasket. Just to either side of the arrows (4 points).

 

Inever actually put the hondabond on the gasket, but use a small screwdriver to put the little hondabond blob in the corners of the surface to meet the areas I've marked [the corners of the humps] I'm a Hondabond Artist
If you put it on the gasket you can wipe it off as you slip the valve cover into place.

Thanks Dude, I'll give this DIY a try

 

remember when you put honda bond DO NOT put a lot just a light amount and spread it thin with your finger .......
