Default valve cover screw broke!!!!

alright, well i decided to replace my spark plugs and wires tonight.

all went well but my friend was screwing the bolts the hold the spark plug cover thing on and it broke the screw that it bolts onto underneath.

so yoiu know how you have 8 bolts holding your valve cover on. 4 on the outside one in each corner, then four under your spark plug cover that also hold your valve cover on but your spark plug cover to.

so he broke on of the screws that come up to hold on my valve cover and holds on my spark plug cover. so now i only have 7 bolts/screws hoilding on my valve cover.

how much is this going to cost? should i not drive my car? is this a BIG prolbem???

Please HELP~~~

I did the same thing on my LS.

I'm trying to find the torque specs for it here:

Costs $15 shipped from acuraoemparts.com for part #18 and a new nut.
