ok i have a issue where the valve cover bolt that holds it down snapped on me. am i going to have to get a new head to drill and tap that out and try to get a stud that will fit it and ghetto rig it.
heres a pic of the aprt im talking about

 

Drill it out and get one from Honda. Those studs are really soft and will break easily if you turn it too hard. =\

 

or you can take the VC off, then take it out that way. mines snapped off too, i've jsut been lazy to do it.

 

use this tool call "easy out" and replace it, like what subway said, the stud are easy to snap off if you over tighten it

 

that stud is like $6 from Honda

 

ok does anyone know the ft/lbs they require.

 

i think somebody said 8 lbs. but it really doens't matter jsut tighten it enough.

 

ok. cus this stud snapping would cause the valve cover to not set proprely correct. causing a leak in oil correct?

 

correct

 

ok cool thanks for the info everybody. ill jsut stop and get a valve cover gasket whil eim at it
