yup, what he said... the stock gasket will fit, and you dont need sealant.

You do need to place hondabond in a couple of spots in order to maintain the gasket in place.

It's just high temp silicone gasket maker right?

Planning on checking my valve clearances soon.

Hondabond is what is used at the dealer. you only need to apply some small dabs at the corners where the cover arches.

i recommend FIPG gasket sealer you can pick it up at a toyota dealer and only use sealant on the corners dont put it all the way around
