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

 

Seriously?

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

 

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.

 

7 ft lbs on those bolts

i snapped one too ... been driving around for a couple months now with it like that and no problems. i don't plan on fixing it.

 

^^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

 

yeah i just duct taped the broken bolt there so it stays in place

 

BRO , FORGET ABOUT GOING TO THE DEALER SHIP . BE READY TO PAY 100 BUCKS FOR A 5 MINUTE JOB...ANY WAYS

GO TO HOME DEPOT, THEY HAVE A LIL TOOL WHICH U DRILL INTO THE BROKEN BOLT AS U START TO DRILL THE THREADS ON THE DRILL TURN THE BOLT COUNTER CLOCKWISE .....WALLLLA BROKEN BOLT OUT IT SECONDS SAVE UR SELF $ 93.00 BUCKS BELIVE ME I WAS THERE ONCE WERE U ARE NOW. GOOD LUCKS .

VISIT SEARS OR HOMEDEPOT

 

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.

 

might have to retap it

 

YA , TAPS SETS ARE CHEAP....THATS WAT I DID TO MY FRIENDS BROKEN BOLT..
