Gasket under rocker assembly
 
Newbie needs help... First, this is a great forum!
I need help trying to get my message across in getting the correct part, or where to go to get it. :confused:
I have a 1990 Civic LX 4 door sedan with over 150,000 miles and still runs like it was just driven out of the showroom.
I have a leak in the spark plug tubes. I purchased the Valve Cover, Grommet and Valve Tube seal kit. HOWEVER, I know that under the rocker assembly on the head there is also another set of gaskets/seals that should be replaced. But I cant seem to find anyone at a parts store that knows what I'm talking about. They keep trying to sell me (and the first one got me) the gaskets that go on the valve cover.
Where can i go to get the gaskets/seals that go under the rocker assembly?
Much appreciate any help you can give is appreciated!

Its not the valve stem seal. Its not the gasket that connects to the valve cover at the spark plug tubes. Its beneath the valve rocker assembly. Here's a video showing where they are....1990 Honda Civic Spark Plug Tube Seals

ah.. those are the lower tube seal (o-ring), it usually comes with head gasket kit, but not the valve cover kit.

ask them for the lower tube seal, between cam assembly and head, it an o-ring type.
