Rocker arm bolts question
Some of my bolts broke during the torquing process, so my question is when I remove them do I need to remove all of them and retorque or will it be ok to remove just those two and torque just those two?

Google that wrench looks just like a regular torque wrench that uses sockets, I have one but don't have a socket deep enough to go over stud to the bolt head, however just thought about it and I can put a crows foot on it and get proper torque

Re: Rocker arm bolts question
Any idea where I can get valve cover stud/bolts cheaper then through Honda? Don't really wanna spend $40 on 4 bolts but don't want cheap quality either

Junk yard... Studs/bolts from any 90-97 Accord will work.
If you plan on doing more work on your Honda yourself. I would suggest picking up a small 9-10 piece metric deep socket set. 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 15mm, 17mm & 19mm would cover most Honda bots under the hood, and the rest of the chassis for that matter.
As far as putting a crows foot wrench on the end of a tq wrench. Any time you use an extension or crow's foot it will change the torque output of the wrench. There are formulas online for figuring out the actual torque when using a crow's foot.

Re: Rocker arm bolts question
Thought about that, but if I go to junkyard they could be weakend from years of use, then possibility of breaking same as mine. Is there any aftermarket companies like arp you know makes these?
