Hi all, I want to remove my rocker cover and refurb it. What do I need to get by way of gaskets, etc, for its refitting please?

Thanks

You will need;

1 x Gasket - Honda Part # 12341-P13-000
4 x Spark Plug Seals - Honda Part # 12342-PT2-000
1 x Tube of oil resistant RTV Instant Gasket (Loctite?)

You can of course save some cash and buy from a motor factors.

I would strongly suggest you go to honda for the gaskets and seals. i had a leaking rocker cover gasket so replacet it with an aftermarket one, and it was still leaking.

Got a honda one and its fine. well worth paying the extra to not have to replace it again in a couple of weeks!

be careful when removing, the studs tend to snap

it would be good idea to get a couple when ordering parts, just in case

TIP: Do NOT apply gasket sealant to the entire gasket, I did this and mine now leaks

Do as the manual says. Only apply sealant on the sharpe corners.

Yes and you can re-use, but rubber does go hard with age and heat and swell with exposure to oil though, so bearing in mind the engines are 20-odd years old, it's not surprising these are coming up due for replacement now.
