I may not be the only one with this issue every year; but is there another supplier that makes them out of modern materials so they don't go bad after one or two seasons?
I installed my last set i had out of my Athena gasket set i bought a few years ago and even with using Aviation sealer compound on them they just can't stand up to the oil. If anyone knows of a link or source can you let me know as i will order a few sets; one can never have enough gaskets and coins.

You can still get OEM ones from Honda.

never use cheap seals and gaskets - rule #1
Re: Valve cover coins, AKA pucks
Cheap? The whole Athena set was well over$100 up here, and i did use a Honda coin set a few years ago and they didn't last either.

Re: Valve cover coins, AKA pucks
A few more pics; sealed up the replacement pucks with silicone; when it set i applied 2 coats of aviation sealer compound to the head and 1 coat on the valve cover before i replaced the gasket with my spare used one; time will tell but if it gets me by til new pucks and gasket shows i'll be happy.
