I lost a valve cover nut on my accord where do I get another? Nobody carrys them that I can find

 

i beleive if u buy the valve cover gasket from your local parts store like auto zone come with them if not throw one in your pocket at a boneyard or just grab a 10mm nut nd put it on

 

Autozone doesn't and was thinking salvage almost did earlier today but forgot and lost it out of pocket somehow probably when I got keys out

 

Just wondering if anyone sells them or if I gotta drive back to salvage yard next week

 

Just use another one to torque down the valve cover in the middle and then put the other one back on the other bolt and get another one from the junkyard. It's not going to pour out because you lost one. I would leave one of the two in the middle off.

 

None in the middle and I know it won't pour out its been off about a year but I was getting ready to change all gaskets and didn't wanna do it til I had that nut problem is salvage yards closed til next week and I won't be able to have the free time for awhile

 

lol i forget u don't have an h22 or h23, that's totally my bad.

Your best bet is the junkyard. Your only other option is to call around dealerships, but I wouldn't bet on them having one.

 

Why wouldn't you get a 6mm nut from a store.....then you have plenty of time to find the "capped" nut from a bone yard. There is nothing special about the cap nut....yes it looks nice but unless you are at a car show with the hood up does it really matter.

Edit: checked lowes home improvement online.....for .68 you can have one. Then get the cap nut from a bone yard and save the one you bought. I might come in handy for something else one day.

 

Was thinking that to I was just curious about whether or not anybody sold them

 

Dealer, ebay, junkyard are just about your only bet. Oem is like 4 bucks, and you can get some nice stainless on ebay but would take alittle time to get to you.. Junk yard is well you get it..

 

Well, I suppose you can get the nut from any hardware store. Just take the bolt down there and match it up.
