How do you replace a valve cover gasket on a 89 Honda civic.?
TAke off valve cover then strip off old gasket.. clean entire serface with alcohol or gas or gasket remover. Then buy a new gasket from a local auto shop, along with some gasket sealer... Put on new gasket as old one was taken off. Use gasket sealer on top and bottom or gasket. Just a thin coat. THen place the cover back on with gasket in place and tighten bolts. Let sit for about 24 hours before starting to let the gasket sealer dry.. Should work better then ever.

When replaced the thermostat on a 1997 1.8 2WD Sidekick sport it leaks on the bottom screw of the housing if a thermostat sealer was used and it didn't work?
Two things I'd suspect are: First thing I'd suspect is that you missed a portion of the old gasket. These gaskets are some of the harder ones to remove as they are usually put on dry and actually penetrate into the pores of the metal(s). If you're not sure take the housing off and check to see if there's any old pieces of gasket left. If so, remove them with a good gasket scraper (I like the decal removers for this), pocket knife or sharpened putty knife. If you're sure the surfaces were clean then there are cautions if you used a gasket sealer. The gasket cements and solvent based sealers usually don't leak, silicones will if not installed properly. When using silicone sealers you have to let the sealer dry at least until it's almost completely set, if you don't the sealer can act like a lubricant and let the gasket slide which can cause a leak. I usually spread a thin coat on gasket, stick it to one of the metal surfaces and spread a thin coat on the other side of gasket. When the silicone is completely set I then install and the silicone will penetrate the pores of the metal which makes the gasket easier to remove.
How do you replace the oil pan gasket on a 1993 Buick Regal 3.1 engine?
Drain the engine oil. unbolt the pan and lower it as far as possible. If the pan is difficult to take completely out, see if you can reach around it to remove all of the old gasket and sealer. Carefully slide the new gasket in place, moving it inder the crank as you work it onto the pan. Add sealant, then rebolt the pan into place with the proper torque.
