[QUOTE="Snakeeyes01, post: 15499391, member: 181244"] Figured I would update the thread since a lot of these just seem to die out and no resolution is ever posted. I decided to pull everything apart and pay special attention to how the gasket mates with the block surface. This is where I found the problem. I thought all that was needed was a little silicone in the bolt hole area on the timing cover and you were good to go.... this is NOT the case for me. The timing cover extends into the timing chain area and the bolt hole runs halfway between the block surface and an open area. The gasket on the timing cover follows around this as well, leaving a section of about 1" where there is no gasket between the cover and the block. I cleaned everything up, put a bead of "Hondabond" in the area in question and all has been good. Took the car for a 20 mile drive and still bone dry like it should be! [/QUOTE]
