I took a look at your other thread about the piston rings, I think for the price of the rings you found on eBay it's worth it to spend another $70 and order the oem Honda rings....that way you will know for sure they will 100% fit
I'm sure a lot of us can tell you from personal experience that sometimes it's worth it to spend a bit more money for a proven and reliable product, engine internals being one of them haha!
Saving some money is a great goal for all of us but sometimes we have to pay a little extra for things that are worth it.
So look at it this way, you can try the rings from eBay which may work, but if they don't you'll end up spending $160 more than if you went with oem Honda rings in the first place.
That being said, are you as sure as you can be about the problem being the piston rings? You said you changed the valve cover gasket, head gasket a couple times....have you done a tune up? (Sorry if you said this already in your thread I missed it.) The answer is usually really simple so the more info we can get the better!
Hope all this helps man
