BGA RK5363 Rocker Cover Gasket Kit - Anyone recommend?

Post by Lankysod07 » Tue Jul 12, 2016 3:34 pm

Finally getting round to fitting my new refurbished rocker cover, had a quick look online today and found this on amazon.

Would anyone recommend, or have used it before?

If anyone has any other suggestions please swing them my way :)

I wouldnt recommend using the BGA - ive used them in the past and they seem to leak fairly soon after install. The rocker washers arent thick enough imo
You can get a genuine Honda Gasket Kit for around £70 - available from Tegiwa & Htune etc ;)

+1 on genuine kit. I looked into the BGA kit when i was doing mine and all sorts of dodgy reviews. leaking etc.
Might as well do the job once.

Bought my kit from Htune. Plus forum discount with code too.
Only replaced the main gasket and 4 spark plug seals which was sufficient.

You may need hondabond too for the areas around the curved sections too

Sadly they're crap, in my experience:
