Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Valve cover bolt

    So here goes... I was doing a valve adjustment and so I put the valve cover back one and went on to put those nuts back on... I was on the last nut and I overtorqued it and broke it off. Question is.... Do they sell those nut and bolt assemblies? I'm talking about the nut that holds the valve cover in place...

    Get one from a Junkyard. It should be free why spend for a nut when you can get one off for free? LOL that can be taken the wrong way if your a pevert like me

      Yeah, I know that nut is pretty easy to get. The part I am worried about is the big long bolt that goes from under the valve cover, though it and then the nut holds the valve cover in place.

        The bolt will come out fairly easily, remove the valve cover, find the bolt you need and remove it. I believe its 10mm, either that or 12. Take the new acorn nut too.

        Remember, those bolts only take about 7 ft-lbs. Barely any torque at all.

          YES they do make them. You can get them from the Honda dealer. They are called Valve cover studs. Search that on the forums, and you find all the info you need. I just replaced the 2 rear ones on my car last week.

            An OG like you still breaks valve cover nuts?

                Yeah I put in a new valve cover gasket and it came with the rubber seals to go under the nuts. So I put those on and few weeks later it was looking like it was leaking so I thought that I didn't torque it enough so another two or so turns and *snap* and the nut and part of that bolt were laying in my hand.

                  just curious... do you have to remove the rocker-arm-assembly to remove the vc studs?
