My guess is that your car is an AP1. Depending on the age and mileage of your car, you could replace the spark plug seals and the bolt seals. All sold separately. I normally don't change them when I adjust my valves, but them my motor is no that old and I do it yearly.

just did this at about 100k, my valve cover put up quite a fight and my spark plug seals got a little mangled so I am glad I had had bought replacements. I got everything through majestic honda online, everything was about half the price of my local stealership, and the valve cover gasket i think is only sold in a kit with 5 new bolt seals included.
