hey h-t peeps... ok heres the deal i broke 1 of my head cover bolt on my d16z6 and im having a hard time looking for a replacement right now... question is what kind of problems will this give me??? would this affect the engine performance???

thanks in advance guys

 

honda dealer theyre like 8$ shouldnt be too hard to get ahold of.

 

maybe alittle oil splatter' need to cover that and make sure nothing gets in there' could cause some major problems.

i'd call honda parts' they'll have one'

 

Goto the dealership and get a new one, but make sure you get the right one. They aren't all the same. That happened on my 93 coupe and I went to get one and pointed out the right one in the book, bought the part, got home, and it was the wrong one. So had to drive all the way back to Honda. I wasnt amused.

 

are you talking about the valve cover bolts in the corners? I broke one on my B16 and couldn't find one. Finally I found a nut that could grab the like 1 or 2 threads that are sticking up from where the bolt was and sorta forgot about it. But honda should have these then? Hmm, I better check that out

 

yeah they have em. I broke 2 on my swap and went and picked them right up. if you are b series they need to know if its an inner or outer one because they are different lengths

 

oh thanks for the fast reply guys, yeah its causing a little oil splatter, is it hard to take out the broken piece out?

Depends how stuck the bolt is in the head, mine is really stuck in there and when I was trying to use a reverse drill bit to take it out, i took out all the threads.

I've been driving around for half a year without the bolt, just the plug to plug up the hole. Haven't seen any oil leakage at all.

Which bolt did you break? I broke the one right beside the timing cover

 

i broke the one near the oil cap. its on a d16z6
well i got the bolt now and i just got back from good ol pep boys and bought one of those screw out thingy's... wish me luck guys

 

success!!! got that sucka out lol thanks again ht peeps
