That will be my plan regarding the seals for the valve cover bolts. Live and learn though. :)
I certainly felt the same way. Now I've done the job once, my 32000 mile valve inspection is going to be quicker.

What size is that bag? Does it stay in place when you attach it to the seat loops on the VFR?

I'm short of 16000 miles on the 8th gen by 50 miles. My local Honda dealer quoted me $1000 in labor alone-no fucking way! Armed with my genuine...
