Either way the timing belt's due. When you pull the valve covers to access the belt you're exposing gaskets that have been heat-cycled and compressed for years. They're done. This is genuine Honda OEM part 12030-PR7-010. It's the valve cover gasket set for one bank of the NSX V6. Here's the thing. The NSX is a V6 with two cylinder heads. That means two valve covers. That means you need two of these gasket sets to do the full job. One set covers one bank only. Don't order just one and show up to the service with half the gaskets you need. Order two sets and get it done right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHere's Why You Replace The Gaskets When The Covers Come Off\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe NSX V6 valve cover gaskets have been sitting there for years compressed under bolt pressure and exposed to engine heat. Once you disturb them by pulling the covers they never seal the same way again. The rubber's lost elasticity. The gasket's deformed. You can try to reuse the old gasket and most of the time you'll get a slow weep. Oil starts seeping around the perimeter. You're chasing a leak that shouldn't exist because you didn't replace the gasket when you had the cover off. We've seen people try to save a few dollars by reusing old gaskets. Six months later they're pulling the covers again because oil's dripping on top of the engine. Don't do that. Fresh gaskets cost nothing compared to redoing the labor. Replace them every time the covers come off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThree Spark Plug Tube Seals - That's Where The Real Leaks Happen\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis gasket set includes three spark plug tube seals. One for each cylinder on that bank. The tube seals sit on top of the spark plug tubes and seal the wells from the inside of the valve cover. When the tube seals fail oil pools inside the spark plug wells. You're seeing oil around the spark plugs. You're wondering where it's coming from. It's the tube seals. We've seen NSX owners ignore weeping tube seals for months. The oil accumulates. It gets on the spark plug terminals. It causes misfires. The engine runs rough. They finally pull the covers and find oil pooling in the wells. Brand new tube seals fix it immediately. Take your time during installation because these seals are easy to get crooked. Use a tool that matches the seal diameter to press them in straight. A piece of PVC pipe sized right works perfect. Force them in at an angle and you're tearing the new seal before the engine even starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eTwo Sets For A Complete Timing Belt Service - Don't Half-Ass It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe NSX timing belt service is a big job. You're pulling the timing covers. You're pulling the valve covers. You're pulling the water pump. You're replacing the crank seal and the cam seals. You're doing the oil pedestal gasket. While you're in there you're replacing both sets of valve cover gaskets because you're already paying for the labor. Order two of these sets. Order the timing belt. Order the water pump. Order the seals. Get it all together and do the full service. Don't pull the covers and then realize you only ordered one gasket set and now you've got to wait for shipping. Have everything on hand before you start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHonda OEM Gasket Set - The Complete Package\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is genuine Honda OEM part 12030-PR7-010. It's the gasket set Honda installs on C30A and C32B engines at the factory. Each set includes the main valve cover gasket that seals the perimeter, three spark plug tube seals for that bank, and six bolt washers to seal the cover bolts. That's everything you need to seal one valve cover. You're not ordering additional seals or gaskets separately. The kit is complete. Aftermarket gasket sets are cheaper. Some are fine. Some cut corners. We've seen cheap gasket sets with tube seals that don't fit the spark plug tubes right. They either fall out during installation or they don't seal correctly. We've seen perimeter gaskets that are the wrong durometer and they don't compress right. The NSX is a precision engine. It doesn't need mystery gaskets. Buy the Honda gaskets. They fit. They seal. They last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHonda OEM valve cover gasket set - part number 12030-PR7-010\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne main valve cover gasket (perimeter seal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree spark plug tube seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSix bolt washers\/grommets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenuine Honda components - not aftermarket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplete for one cylinder head\/valve cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne set required per bank (order 2 for full V6 service)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFits These Cars\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1993-2005 Acura NSX (C30A and C32B engines)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Valve cover gasket set for NSX C30A and C32B V6 engines. Genuine Honda OEM part 12030-PR7-010. One set covers one cylinder head\/one valve cover only. NSX has two banks so order 2 sets for complete service. Replace gaskets every time valve covers are removed (reused gaskets weep). Set includes main perimeter gasket, three spark plug tube seals, and six bolt washers. Spark plug tube seals most common leak point - oil pooling in spark plug wells indicates failed tube seals. Install tube seals carefully, straight and aligned, or they tear. Use appropriate tool to press seals in place without forcing at angle. Torque valve cover bolts to spec in correct sequence (typically 9 lb-ft per NSX manual) using torque wrench. Do not overtighten as this distorts cover and creates leak paths. Replace during timing belt service at 90k miles or 7 years. One set per order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n 1993-2005 Acura NSX \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"Included\"\u003e\n(1) Valve Cover Gasket\u003cdiv\u003e(3) Spark Plug Tube Gaskets\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(6) Bolt Head Gaskets\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Honda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45544059863074,"sku":"OHA-12030-PR7-010","price":135.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/OHA-12030-PR7-010_q14w.jpg?v=1780002007","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/honda-oem-valve-cover-gasket-set-nsx-c30-c32-12030-pr7-010","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
