Yeah have to remove the cowl and the metal plate underneath first. Then everything else is straight forward.

Hate to ruin the party like I always do and you all are going to think I'm an ******* but I don't care.

So dude says he is very mechanical but actually asks if he needs to pull the motor to remove the valve cover! damn

Well be a a$$hole if you want, like I said I dont own one of these civics and from looking at the pics that $hit is way under there. At least I am not going to say I can do if for somebody and get there and mess there car up.

If you are not going to post viable information get the hell out of the thread!

Thank you.

That is awesome. I guess I'm going to have to do the same. I have looked for the Honda Motors Co. cover for awhile, but seem to always find just the Honda cover. Like the one I saw on the Civic Type R motor FD2.

the valve cover you painted wrinkle red looks good, but its not gonna pass for a type-r.
reason being:

1. you painted the breather on the right when its not painted on the type-r
2. on the holes around the edges, the whole ring is polished. as to where you just sanded out the red just around the hole.
3. the holes for the screws that go through the spark plug caps, are polished around the whole seat. again you just sanded out the red just around the hole.
4. the red is too vivid.

LOL really,

1. the breather gets a hose on it DUH!!
2. i didnt sand **** it was taped off the correct way
3. i didnt sand **** it was taped off the correct way
4. if you see it in person this **** is tight.

5. the JDM type-r says HONDA not Honda Motor Co., LTD.

And who said I was trying to pass it off as a type-r???????
