Valve cover

O.K., I changed the valve cover gasket about 3 weeks ago, and now I see a leak. I looked at the car, and it appears to be comming from the front right end of the gasket. Is it just to tight or do I need to re do the job with a new gasket?

It’s a good idea to put some Honda bond.
I changed mine twice, never used anything. Just made sure the gasket it seated right. Never had any leak.

Either your gasket got misplaced or it’s not too tight.

Do you have the Honda gasket or some cheap OEM gasket?

It's an after market, and I didn't know about the honda bond, is that the same as a gasket seal? thanks. Guess I have to go to the dealer and get the oem and do it over again.
