+1. I've had my valve cover off more than a dozen times, and still haven't replaced the gasket. (Hopefully, I didn't just jinx myself, since I'm planning to do another valve adjustment soon).

It is recommended to be replaced. A new gasket can come on and off a few times under 10K after that get a new one. Its all up to you tho! good luck

It has been recommended to me personally by a few Honda techs who have done alot of s2000 work in the area. I also think that if Honda has the dealership replace it with thier work (I.E. valve adjust), its reason enough for me to do so. IMHO, the peace of mind is nice. Plus i just spent 20K on the car, 30 bucks itsnt much.

If you wanna get all techy, I've done VA's on 325+ S2000s. Never replaced a single gasket. Tell that to the "techs" 
i have had my Valve cover off at least 10 times..... 33k on the car.
10 times in 33k miles.....why?
