603 jdm wrote:yeah true i didnt really think of that if it was like a cork gasket then yeah but obv hondas dont have tht. id just put a dab of th orange gasket sealer in the corners and by the cam/dizzy bevels or w/e u wanna call them make sure the plug wire seals are still intact and not leaking either

Valve covers arent under pressure so you dont actually need to replace it unless its in bad shape. Just make sure its in its grove correctly and bolt it back down.

i looked through the chilton manual and it suggested to look at my instrument panel and see if my ABS light turns, witch i did. NOTHING TURNED ON. i dont think i have ABS but just to make sure i figured i ask you guys. just wondering because i need a new wheel bearing. i bought my wheel bearing from a local autopart store and he asked if i had ABS and i wasnt too sure, so i went ahead and told him yes. i also dont even know if i have disc or drum brakes lol. but im pretty sure i have disc in the front and drum in the back right?
also whats a automatic transmission fluid that you all suggest?:?
i used dexron III witch i think was a bad idea because my tranny is now stuck in first.
thanks to anyone that replies!!!:D

Very few EG's came with ABS, More 94-95's have them then the 92-93's and are typically only on EX Coupes and Sedans, even then not all of them have it as it was an option.
PhantomEJ1 wrote:Wow you found yourself a really clean coupe,! And with no rust at all that's lucky. If I was going to suggest something it would be getting the rear qtr panel lips covered with some bedliner like line x or something good to prevent rust from ever happening cuz if it ever starts it will ruin your day, trust me! Other than that it looks good, keep it going!
