the car in question: *95 civic LX*

Going to pull the Valve Cover off and give her a paint job soon and if I don't like how it works out then I won't be out much $$ and I'll just get it powder coated..

regardless of all that hoo hah I've heard that it is a good move to replace the gasket while I have it off. Sounds like a good plan but I'm unsure what to get.. should just the basic gasket from Autozone be OK or are there ones that will hold up and last longer?

Ok well I checked around and the Dealer has the OEM Gasket for the same price as Autozone's 'no-name' version(~$12) and then the grommets for the plugs(if I want-need em)($3-4/ea) so I think I'll just swing by the dealer b4 I start painting..

thanks all
