If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Not necessarily.
A 98 EX has VTEC, as is evidenced by the fact that you have the valve.

Order it online cheaper, or bargain the price with your local dealer since you know what you can get it for elsewhere. See the link I gave in the previous post.
Are you chasing a leak or a code?
If a leak, you may only need the rubber gaskets, they typically harden and get brittle over time and miles. The large gasket with the screen is easily available, and there is another gasket between the coil and spool valve, held with the 3 bolts you see on top. My understanding is that gasket is available for other applications, but I can't tell you which would be the same.
Random pick here is a 95 EX, the gasket #15 is available separately for it.
I can't tell you if it will fit your valve, but list price is only $8 and some change. Might be worth trying it out.
