The cam seal was a polymer of course. The intake gasket was some type of pressure-formed composite metal and it definitely must be replaced since it squeezes into place. The exhaust gasket was a contoured metal sheet. I have reused it before, but I took my machinist's advice to replace it this time.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
