Installed them on my old LS motor. Worked great till the next owner cracked the sleeve.

The valve cover gaskets always seem to have leaking issues, but I've had the same problem with fel-pro and any other "decent" brand non-oem gaskets. I recommend the ebay gasket kits to anyone and would trust them on my daily or weekend beater. Same ---- that you get at the parts store, just cheaper.

Yeah, my VC and oil pan are a little leaky, but I've also had to drill out some oil pan holes and use fatty bolts because some broke off and got stuck.

I rtved the ---- out of my VC and it's holding pretty good. Next oil change I'm taking the oil pan off anyway, I'd like to check my p2w clearances from the bottom, I'm just curious. I'll be rtving the ---- out of that bitch when it goes back on.

Yeah, next oil change I'll probably invest in some to stop the VC leaks I'm having with my less than year old gasket...

Oil pan one worked great for me thankfully.

didnt read the posts...

but i ran the second headgasket set on my CX... i didnt use all the gaskets, the valvecover looked shady. but it was the most complete gasket set i have seen, it even had both the P72 and PR3 intake gaskets...

I bought that gasket set, so far I have ended up replacing both front and rear main seals (front was my bad) and the headgasket. I would highly suggest not using that headgasket they are pretty cheap.

Yeah I could see using the gaskets in some easiy to replace situations, but the gaskets from Honda are not all that expensive to use.
