hahaha, whats young has to do with this.

anyhow, take off valve cover, if studs are still sickting out, go buy stud remover, if there is no stud sticking out, buy drill bit that removes stud, and buy new stud from honda.

okay,

1.take the valve cover off

2.remove the stud/replace them with new one. (use vice grip or stud remover w/e works for you)

3.reinstall valve cover.

4.bolts are only 7ft lbs, so light tight.

It is easy if you can take the valve cover off you can replace those.
Just go to Honda or Acura with those 2 pics and get new studs and 2 new bolts.
You will need a DEEP socket to remove them and when you are replacing them and the valve cover just make sure that you use a torque wrench and do not over torque them.

jordan_civic

You do not need a stud remover jsut a DEEP Socket and a torque wrench.

Take the picture with you and they will be able to help you out

jordan_civic

alright thanks for the help

jordan_civic

Is there anyway to remove it without a deep socket...I dont wanna go buy some new ones just for a 12mm deep socked

You need a deep socket that is unless you use a vice grip

jordan_civic

well I have 4 vice grips...I just dont know how to get it off

zer0bot

You need a deep socket to put it on so i would just buy one.
This is the head of your motor it is kinda important.
I would do it correctly.

gsr dood

hes right, your going to have to just buy a 12mm deep socket anywa because when you get the new studs your gunna need it to torque the bolt down so just buy a set, i got my deep socket set at walmart for $12, stanley tooo thought they were shitty but ive had em for over 2 years and havent had a problem yet!
