The website below shows a picture of a `95 head just like any other
ordinary Honda. You are being had. Like someone said, take the labor
eleswhere but do buy the seal set from the Honda only. Other seal
manufacturers may fail on you.

> are the engine head side covers the same as the side valve covers ?

There's only one cover called cylinder head cover.

>If so, why would it take 3 hours to change the seals on these?

I do it in 10 minutes.
