hmmm that sucks. was it a honda gasket?

on the plus side, you can sell your old IACV since its still in good condition, and make some money back

Did you have the fluctuating idle? Also make sure your FITV isn't on the way out. I replaced my IACV once, and my idle was fixed for a few weeks. THEN I replaced my FITV, and it's been fine ever since. I HATE these idle problems.

I have heard felpro gaskets are called "failprone".... so what's the story... are they good or bad? (this was actually in reference to a cam seal).

i already bypassed it so it wont be a problem anyways even if it is goin out. and i never had a bad idle until the gasket started leaking.

i have never heard bad things about felpro gaskets and i work at a part store that sells them...just buy a skunk 2 cam plug they look good and have bigger rubber rings than most replacements... just use a lil gasket sealer with it
