I changed the Valve Cover on my Wife's 2007 CRV, and it's still leaking. I bought a good quality Gasket, followed the directions as far as where to put sealant and it still leaks. It's very frustrating

This looks fine but I would recommend oem valve cover gasket, everytime I use anything else they go leaking. If none of that work has been done before I highly recommend getting them done. If you skip on plugs and valve adjustment you could potentially wear out the cam or burn the valves and it’ll be way more expensive to deal with later, and the plugs don’t like to live in there much beyond the 90k service life, usually cooked before that too. If they sit too long the zinc coating will fail and you’ll have galvanic corrosion in the threads and seize the plugs in. Then you’ll have to repair the head, which gets expensive. The coolant probably should have been replaced at 70k, not as dire but you guys are almost double that now. Coolant lubes the pump, if it gets too old you get more wear on that and it starts to leak prematurely. Those aren’t too big of a deal to replace, but more cost earlier than needed if it goes bad. Also corrosion protection breaks down in old fluid. If you skip those now, try to do it soon. Those are the only real big services you have to worry about every 100k miles, the rest is easy. Trans fluid should be drain and fills every 30k miles, idc what Honda or anyone recommends
I just changed the Valve cover gasket. Because it had an oil leak.
Valve cover gasket 100%, then check wheel bearings, electrical for the speedometer because the lighting always gets fucked up.
