The reason I'm asking is because im trading my gsr valve cover for a type r valve cover. But first I wanted to know how hard it is to take it off and put on the type r valve cover. How hard is it? Can you guys walk me threw the steps? Is there anything I should be worried about happening?
I searched it but didnt find anything on it...


Thanks!!

 

It's easy, assuming your valve cover gasket is still good. Mine is kinda messed up, yet i'm still using it. It's very hard to make it sit properly.

Besides that, use common sense for taking it off and putting it back on.

 

replaced your valve cover gasket, its like 10 $ , and put a little bit of honda bond where the distrubor goes ( on the valve cover gasket)

 

its not hard at all, just take the like 6? bolts off the valve cover and it comes right off

 

you might have to get a new pcv tube...sometimes those things sit so long it bonds to the metal real well and you have to cut it off .

 

very easy...its always best to just replace the gasket for good measure.

 

very easy to do. Just make sure you do not over tighten the nuts holding down the valve cover or you will brake the studs.

 

Very easy, as already said, just do not over tighten.

Is there a diffeerence between the gsr and the type r valve gasket? Or is it better if I just buy a Type R gasket? What brand in particular? what website to order order it from? Thanks!!

 

GSR and ITR gaskets are the same. Just go to Honda (2000 Civic Si is compatible) or Acura for the gasket.
