I just did mine and did not notice any difference from one side to another.  Could be way wrong though.   I did give the a coating with a really good silicone product called "the right stuff".  Stopped my oil leaks completely.  Previously I had 2 cam pucks leaking.  Good luck, enjoy your leak free motor.

You made me think about it after I cheered knowing someone else would like to know what these control freaks are up to.
 Every time any owner strips whatever precious Honda part the horrified purists parts go up in value. That's not the part that bothers them.
 What bothers them is they sat up late at night, their breast full of wonder and estrogen, unable to sleep, dreaming about their lovely darling and all her glory... and next thing you know someone else doesn't share their emotional deluge and their reaction is they must spread their mind museum as far as they possibly can, taking over as much of the real world as possible.

Drink fast, drive slow, but ride it like you stole it

Yeah I really couldn't tell either, so I just put some permatex gasket sealer on the inside and put them in. cleaned off the excess, and got the rest back together. Now I'm working on the valve clearences and timing. Hope to fire her up in a little bit.
