Default Valve Cover Replacement



I have a 95 ex accord with VTEC.

Just wondering what required tools and steps are needed to replace my valve cover with a powdered valve cover? Thanks.

I think just a 10mm socket and ratchet. Or just a 10mm wrench but that would take longer. Also a screw driver or pliers to remove the hose clamps on the vc vent and PCV. Simple and straight forward. Just make sure when you install the new one and tighten the bolts that you are careful. Those bolts snap easy and are only supposed to be torqued to 7 lb/ft.

Sounds pretty simple. Any recommended order for tighening the bolts, or is it irrelevant?

get a new gasket too. and probably might wanna check your valve clearances while the cover is off maybe even do a full tune up if it hasn't been done in awhile.
