Gasket for Valve Cover??
Hey Everyone...Im planning to finish my valve cover...I have access to a sand blaster and paint booth...but before i start the job i want to make sure im not missing any parts/gaskets when im in the middle of the job...do i need to buy a new gasket when i put the finished cover back on...This is the first time im doing the job and i want to make sure i dont screw anything up...

Gasket for the valve cover(1)........rubber gasket for the seals around the spark plugs holes(4)......and the gasket for each of the bolts that go though the cover(4) .......(talking about the D15 and D16 covers.......don't know about the DOHC ones)
Oh yeah.....also get some sealent for the tight corners so that the gasket for the cover seats nicely. Pic to follow.......
Get Honda parts. Not that expensive.

ill use the CT one
call up honda and find out how much their part is (if you can still get it)...if the price is ok then get the honda one...if its too expensive get the CT one...im sure they arent that different

I repainted my valve cover a yr or 1.5yrs ago. Did a rush job but still turned about pretty good. Had pics but got trashed when swapping HD :cry: If you want a smooth finish you'll need fine grit sand paper, the wet/dry ones are good. A degreaser to get all the crap off. This is the most important part cuz if there's any hint of grease paint won't stick. A good high heat enamel paint. Sherwin Williams can help you with that. I tried CT paint but the cap colour never matches what it actually looks like. Bought red, came out orangey
Silicone for the gasket. If I can remember, you should only put it on in the corners where the crank shaft is. Hard to explain but you'll see on the old one where it is.
