how much you think all that will cost? i go to majestci honda and get all the oem stuff. 20 bucks for the valve cover gasket i dunoe bout the spark plugs seals i need 2 check..
hondaautomotiveparts.com has the spark plug Seal listed for 2.94 + shipping.
From prior experience I have painted a few valvecovers myself without having to replace the valve cover gasket and spark plug seals.
one tip i can give you is that when you tighten back up the valve cover bolts do not over tighten them or they'll snap! (7lb tq strength)
