You can get a blueprint cam cover from motorfactors or ebay - about £15-£20
I got my one one ebay ADL pt no.ADH26724
The spark plug seals again ebay or htune etc about £4/ea
The metal/rubber washers are the difficult part to find - i had to get them from Honda - think they were about £5 each
so all in all it costs about £70 which is probably the same as the trade price on the genuine Honda kit :)

A few of us have used BGA rocker cover kits before as they are very cheap
unfortunately
They are crap :cry:
1996-2000 1993 EG9 Blue Civic 1.6 Vti - Traded in against the BB4
2000-2019 1994 2WS BB4 Milano Red JDM Prelude Si VTEC LSD

2015 on > 1991 4WS BB1 Phantom Pearl Grey JDM Prelude Si VTEC LSD
2021 ON > 1998 2WS BB6 White Pearl JDM Prelude Si VTEC

Check the part number, but there's a genuine one on eBay for £33 delivered from the States at the minute. Last one apparently though ;)

When I got my OEM seals it came to something like £90, Spark plug seals, rocker cover washers and the rocker cover seal.

He used the BGA kit. OEM is the best but it is also the most expensive.

Just had another look. Genuine cover seal and spark plug seals for £33 or just cover seal for about £23. Both of eBay from the States. Wouldn't take long to arrive.
