i was lookin at it and like the whole window cowl covers half the valve cover so how would u go about putting the valve cover on?????

 

I would think dropping the engine a little from the bottom will allow you do the valve cover

 

damn good point on that how would you do that ?

 

come on theres gotta be a way... maybe removing the cowl???

 

it doesn't seem to be removable. I work on Toyota's all day I know they are not the same but the sienna has a similar cowl and it is non removable

 

You would lower the engine by removing the mounts from chassis and lowering the subframe a bit, it would need to be on a lift with a flat trans jack under it to travel the span of the subframe

 

dude that sux *****
thats gotta be a bitch to do ya know

 

Thats why i hate those damn short *** hoods.

 

so no one has done one yet

 

The cowl comes off as one piece in the middle. You have to remove the cowl to work on any part of the exhaust side of the engine. Cowl comes off, then coils, then cover.

 

you beat me to it, working for Honda that was the first thing i looked at when we got a new Si in was how to take the valve cover off. No need to drop the motor down. the whole wiper assm and cowel has to come off.

 

nice thanks buddy

 

to play off your question which valve cover would you need to use the DC5/EP3 one or the TSX one since I thought our head had the TSX design being bigger it would need that valve cover

 

u should be able to use any K-series valve cover right like jdm DC5 or EP3

 

Sounds like a big rice-*** waste of time to me. What's wrong with the stock valve cover? Exactly.

 

damn easy man im just saying....

 

Just remember once you take the top plastic cowl off. You still have to unbolt the bottom metal cowl piece.

Why wash your car, it doesn't make it faster or run better. Or maybe *gasp* someone does something so their car will....... look good!

 

whats the jdm valve cover look like?

 

its just like the JDM b18C5 valve cover it is red powder coated

 

thank god that wiper assembly piece comes off that makes things a little easier then

here's a pic of the jdm valve cover
