Does anyone use any sealant for the rocker cover gaskets? If so what type did you use?

Permatex Ultra-grey is nearly identical or is identical. I used it on my 2ZZ valve cover and it looked/felt just like the factory sealant from Japan.

Fipg is better than the permatex stuff imo.
Either that, or Honda-bond, the Honda equivalent of Fipg. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
