My friend just bought the type R red valve cover for his civic Si. Don't ask why but I think he has some sort of obsession for the valve cover, paid $200+ for it. Anyways, I was just wondering how hard is it to install? Is this something we can do, or is it best left to the service dept?

 

its simple, just take the spark plug cover off, then take the wires off, and loosen the bolts holding the cover down and woila! you have it off.

you may need a new gasket though. when your done just torque down the bolts to 7lbs and thats it. shouldnt be hard, good luck

 

make sure and put a little hondabond in the corners of the little arches...
