Review on πŸ”§ ECCPP Engine Valve Cover Gasket | Compatible with 01-05 Honda Civic EX HX GX DX LX 1.7L SOHC D17A Engine by Aaron Jimison

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not recommended. DOES NOT make a good seal. Buy an OEM Honda instead.

Not recommended. I installed this V/C gasket very carefully following the online instructions: cleaned all the old surfaces, applied RTV Ultra Black sealant to the inside corners, torqued the bolts to spec, etc. Within a few weeks a significant amount of oil leaked out of one the outer corners. It must be a poorly made item. It does NOT make a good seal. I will buy a genuine Honda part and replace it. Such an inconvenience and waste of time! Also, the bolt hole seals have an ugly matte metallic finish instead of a pretty chrome finish.

Pros
  • Spare parts
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
