Valve Cover Q
Hey guys, going to install the JDM K20 valve cover this weekend. i thought i read that i need a new gasket, is this true. Ive only had the car for about 3-4 weeks and just went over 500 miles on the odometer. Anyone give some advice from past experience on swapping valve covers?

If the car is that new, you shouldn't need a new gasket. However, you do need to clean off the sealant in a few areas on the gasket before reinstalling. Also, you should reapply some silicone or hondabond to the same areas during the installation.
