I replaced my gasket seals recently - they were rock hard!

I used oem replacements but Honda Bond is mega expensive!

My Honda tech friend said that his boss deosn't like them using
it 'cos of the cost

Yeah Honda Bond is expensive but worth it I think (if it works). The first stuff I bought was black but the last tube I got was grey

Having a quick read up about it my first tube was probably Hondabond 4 while my 2nd tube is Hondabond HT. Apparently Hondabond 4 is not the recommended one to use, probably why I was leaking oil

Why would you need Hondabond if you've replenished the seal? Just makes it more likely to leak next time when you have to remove your valve cover again.

Honda recommend the use of Honda bond when replacing the valve cover gasket but only in the prescribed places

Do you mean in the corners by the cam top clamps?
