Valve Covers
I found a Mugen Valve Cover that im interested in buying. Is this something I can install myself? If so, what other products will I need to buy like oil or gaskets etc. to do it?

Those are simple to install. Get a valve cover gasket set. Comes with valve cover gasket and 4 spark plug seals. Take a minute to clean up the oil on the head so it doesn't leak afterwards. Hondabond may be needed around the cam area. Torque the crown nuts to 7 ft.lbs

This measurement is VERY important, you dont want to over torque it and break the stud. Or even worse break the cam cap(like i did
)
