First time I started my new project 350x it spit oil out from the cam cap. Does this indicate head damage or do I just need to reseal the rocker cover? Does the rubber cam cap come in a top end gasket kit?

If its leaking g out of the cam cover check your rubber seal? Im not sure if they come in a gasket kit have you looked on eBay?

The rubber cam cap is like $10 from Honda.

No gasket under the cam cover - I use Permatex anaerobic sealant.

Also, check the sealing washers on the external oil line.

If its leaking from around the cam cap then the rocker cover needs to be resealed.
