The car is a Honda Civic EX with a D17A2 engine. The upper spark plug tube seals that came in my Felpro kit did not come with the steel rings. Does anyone know a part number for a seal that comes with a steel ring?

Part #6 is all you need. What steel ring?

part#6 has something like a steel ring embedded inside the rubber, OEM seals are always better then any other seal

It fits in the recess in the valve cover just under the hole for the spark plug and the top of the spark plug tube slides through it. There are two versions of part #6. Do one or both have some kind of stiffener so that they will stay put in that recess? The old ones had steel rings inside them, thin pieces of sheet metal. When I wanted to change them I didn't realize that the replacements weren't going to cut it.
