So when I was installing my new valve cover I snapped off one of the bolts that holds it down to the head . Anyways how much should I expect to get this fixed at my local honda dealership? Is this difficult to do or could I fix this myself?
TIA

Part 24, this is a five minute fix, dont waste time taking it to the dealership they will rape you

^what he said^ I forget what the torque spec is but it not much on the vavle cover bolts get a helms, it will keep you from snapping bolts, I learned the hard way as well

POE

everyone tightens these bolts down WAY to tight. haha i used to be one of those PERSON's... take the valver cover off and access the damage, get a picture of the bolt in the head and post it on here, if u still need help.

^^same here. i just put a bolt and a washer in the hole so it doesn't srpay oil anywhere. doesn't leak through the vc or at the head

ok so what do you do when the threads in the hole get messed up? My buddy took his valve cover off and when he went to put it back on he must not of had one of the bolts right and it messed it up.
