Pic 1 --> replace the rubber washers/seals on the valve cover bolts. Any oil inside the spark plug tubes?

Pic 2 --> replace the distributor O-ring and VTEC solenoid gaskets. Any oil inside of distributor?

in pic 1 you see one bolt in the middle where the parkplug wires are broken. how do u replace that one bolt?
no oil inside the distributor, so do i still have to replace the -o-ring gasket?

Remove valve cover and bolt and then replace the bolt's rubber seal.

Yes, you should still replace the O-ring and VTEC solenoid gaskets.

If there were oil inside the distributor, then you'd also need to replace the internal oil seal in the distributor.

Any oil inside the spark plug tubes?

no oil on the spark plug tubes. so should i just replace the O-ring and VTEC solenoid gaskets? and where is that o-ring gasket located?
