or the tubes that are pressed into the head have backed off a little. but more than likely the grommets

if u can pull the valve cover the tube gaskets are right there as well.. old one may be hard and brittle.. pull them up and replace them install new ones...
and all set install new valve cover gasket as well i would say get oem honda gasket as well

Not really. Mine were a pain in the ass to get out. Just make sure you put some oil around the outside/inside of the seals. Thatll make them easier to get in the valve cover and then you can slip them around the tubes easier.

are you guys tlking about the upper tube seals or lower tube seals? and if lower do you have to mess with timing when taking of the rocker assembly?
