so... ^^^ how must i fix?

 

ha its nothing man. its jjust a bolt that holds down the cam cover. get a deep socket and rachet that **** off. go to acura and buy a new one. i cant see it bein more than 5$

 

same **** happen to me. Today i went to a local honda dealer and they told me they didnt have it in stock, that plain bs cause cleary if i let their technician fix it then they will have it. That plain bs **** from the dealer. Ohh that stud should cost around $8.

 

easy $5 fix
just go to the dealer and order the bolt
you need a 12MM deep socket to take the bolt out and torque the new bolt to 20 foot pounds

easy 2 min fix at most

 

i was just asking before i started to pull **** apart. i thought it was a stud from the block lol.

cools... so i can replace ALL of them right. just get new ones and deep sock that **** off. i wanna change ALL 8 of them because i felt them bend.... forgot never to work on hot metal. lol

 

there are 4 of them not 8
they longer because they hold down the spark plug cover

I wouldn't touch them if they aren't giving you problems. Just replace the one that snapped.

I replaced all of mine with OEM bolts and they are different than what originally came on the car and I have already snapped two of the ******* in the head.

you dont need to buy all of them....tq it correctly.....I dont care if you purchase new ones....if its not tq to the correct spec and you over tighten it....it will break again..

 

howd that happen over torqued?

 

1st- Order new one at Acura/ Honda.
2nd- While waiting for the part to arrive, buy a torque wrench.
3rd- Buy a Helm's Manual from eBay (CD ~$6)
4th- Pick up new part from Acura/ Honda.
5th- Use Helm's and torque wrench to install new part.



P.S. Torque wrench and Helm's should be your best friends when working on your car, especially when servicing your engine.

yeah... i jus turned her off too. wanted to check my plugs for oil and snap. lol

 

it's your best bet to tighten those down with a screwdriver that has a socket attachment. hitting those with a wrench is risky because it's harder to get a good feel on the tightness, and you can easily snap one (as you did).

also, it's important to follow the correct pattern when tightening those down (shown in the helms). and only go partial turns on each at a time, while following the pattern.

 

anyone knows the part number for that stud? lmk

 

Shouldn't be any different than my B17 part #:

90014-PR3-000 BOLT A, Head Cover $4.75 $4.04 (Online Pricing)

That price is per bolt.

anyone knows the part number for the nut that goes on the stud? lmk
