    PM me, I can source these for you from Honda at a much cheaper rate. I would recommend OEM as I've had bad experiences with the aftermarket stuff especially the rocker cover and sump gasket. Cheers

    Please buy OEM parts.

    Even try searching the part numbers online and you can source a few bits cheaper ( ebay , honda / acura parts etc)


    If you are having a cry now , just wait to later on when aftermarket seals fail or leak and you are up for the labour + part again to replace.

    It's plastic so you won't have a problem there.

    Also: rear main and valve stem seals.

    Cheers devil.

    Dont bother. Likely to splay and cause a leak somewhere. Also , do nothing for most cars short of a race car. Waste of $$$

    You can save a lot of money if you order from online part suppliers such as Amayama, I just compared a few of those to what I had priced up for my own rebuild and it's approximately a 30-70% saving before shipping. You can also add spark plug seals to that list.

    Once you added shipping - what was the saving vs buying locally ?
    Often the small saving isnt worth it considering the time shipping takes / no warranty etc

    Still quite a lot actually, EMS is very reasonable. Also never paid more than $12 for shipping last year regardless of order size, but they have dynamic rates now.
