Ah the old paint the valve cover and then break off the stud routine. You will have an oil leak. What i did was silicone the metal/rubber washer into the valve cover to minimize how much oil I lost while i waited for the replacement. You have to order the replacement from honda.....MAKE SURE THEY ORDER THE RIGHT ONE. make sure you point at the computer screen for the parts guy. I know the parts guy, a porter, and a few techs personally at my dealer...otherwise I would be totally un trusting.

You could also try going to a junkyard with your part in hand and matching parts from different cars.

wait...did you just break off the very very top that holds on the spark plug cover? Cuz if thats all you broke, you'll be fine. I retract my earlier statement in that case.
