I owned a civic ex coupe, was wondering how do you take off the valve cover properly? I want to paint it red. thanks.

 

unscrew the nuts that hold it on.

 

It's a very straightforward task. Just start removing **** man.

 

Dont forget a new valve cover gasket...just incase you need a new one or mess up the one you have.

It seems like something he could figure out if he just tried to do it once.

Just remember when you put it back on to not over torque the bolts. You don't want to snap them off in your head.

you really only need a new one if your old one is leaking. Just clean it good and then reapply liquid gasket on the square sections of the gasket (around the cams). Then make sure you don't over tighten the cover nuts cause they can break and turn into crap. Usually 10 foot lbs is good

 

If you seriously asking this question, you might want to leave your valve cover alone.
