Re: tune up
I would just put on a new OEM distributor cap instead of the MSD, the MSD is made to use and aftermarket ignition system with it, unless you have an aftermarket ignition system then you would need the MSD cap.I would also replace the rotor button, and are the oil and valve cover gaskets leaking? If not then don't change them. If you do have a leaking valve cover gasket and you are going to replace it I would replace the rear camshaft seal that is right next to the distributor, preferably with a STR but OEM will do. If you are replacing any gaskets be sure to get some Hondabond it will save you some headaches.

Re: tune up
 and you might wanna get a Valve Adjustment to. As for the cam seal do it and don't put that sorry ass stock one back. Get the STR one or if you cheep like me get one here https://shopping.lightningmotorsport...5&cat=0&page=2

Re: tune up
alright so i'll go with the oem cap. both the gasket are leaking oil so they definitely need to be changed. i'll check out that ssite and see about getting that seal. why a valve adjustment though, just wanna know for what sspecific reason but i'll get it anyway. anything else to be done???
