My valve cover gaskets are leaking moderately. I am due to replace both of them. My question is, when I replace the tube seals do I use any Honda bond? Also when I replace the gaskets do I use any Honda bond?

A lot to take off so I want to make sure they both are sealed well.

Hi Riebe,
Some say that using a RTV for an application like this isn't necessary, however, I usually use Permatex Ultra Black (same thing, different name). I use it on the tube seals and on the gasket. Just be sure you don't use so much that it makes a mess under the valve cover. You got this!

Here is a guide to help step by step with diagrams below to show you how on your car
