Gasket Help. What to get
I have a 93' Civic CX, 1.5L 16 valve D15B7.
I need to replace the gasket, seals and o-rings directly underneath the head cover on top, nothing else.. What is the tech term for these, and does it matter what make I get? Also.. do I need to be a special type of lubricant for them when I replace them...
Also the grommet bolts.. there are 4 of them.. one in each corner of the head cap.. do I need to replace those are can I reuse them?

Valve cover gasket set. A complete set has the main perimeter gasket, 4 spark plug tube gaskets, and 4 grommets for the bolts. Reuse the bolts (actually they are like studs that stay in the head), nuts, and washers. Do not overtighten! The bolts will break.
When you install, use a small amount of silicone sealer ONLY on the "corners" where the main gasket transitions from flat to the curved parts that go up around the camshaft. Do not slather the whole thing in sealer.
