do you mean valve cover or head gasket? if its the valve cover gasket your reffering to, ex's dont have them, they use some kind of silcon sealer on the mating sufaces instead of an actual paper gasket.

just ask your honda dealer for it.

I think the 400 has one, doesn't it?
I know the 300ex doesn't.

I think valve cover gasket it metal. If you have lost compression you might try a new head gasket.
