I have had a look on ebay, called a couple of factors and got an idea of price but does anyone have good contact for quality gasket kits at not daft OE prices?

ebay or htune for the spark plug seals - approx £4 ea
ebay/honda/htune for the oem gasket - approx £20
the expensive part is the rubber/metal washers - Honda want £££'s sure ones for B series might be same and possibly aftermarket options at a lower price.
dont bother with the washers in the BGA aftermarket kit as they are rubbish.
i bought a genuine OEM kit from htune with all parts in it - came in at a hefty £80-£90 if i remember right.

From my experience, the BGA washers are OK but the rest of their gasket set is poo.vanzep wrote: dont bother with the washers in the BGA aftermarket kit as they are rubbish.

I'm currently using OEM Honda valve cover gasket with OEM Honda spark plug orifice seals / O-rings, along with the BGA metal capped washers. The washers were fitted during August 2013, the valve cover has been off many times and the washers aren't leaking.
Although maybe you have had a bad experience with them? I wouldn't be surprised going by my experience with the rest of the BGA gasket set.

I recently fitted another valve cover and used an eBay set from America, I had to wait a few more days but it came in at about £30, it included the metal/rubber washer too. I’ve not had any problems with it. Fits just as it should and hasn’t leaked anywhere. Just make sure it’s done to torque I think
