Well, I painted my valve cover today, and it looks pretty good, it's silver with black letters. Only problem is, now I can't drive it because when I was bolting it back on, the long bolt on the top right snapped right off. That thing must have been incredibly weak, because I was only torquing it to just over 7 ft/lbs. So now I have to wait until monday to get the part from Honda, unless I can find an AAP or Autozone that carries it. [:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]

 

junkyards?

 

where are the pics!!! i might do mine silver to match the outside of the car

 

mine valvecover bolt snapped a while back when i was replacing the gasket, never got around to fixing it.

 

I'll put up some pics tomorrow. ^^So did you just leave the hole open?

 

i put the bolt back in, but its lose. I just never got around to fixing it because theres a piece thats still in there, I didnt wanna spend money and have a mechanig take it out and rebore it etc.

 

Yeah, the piece that broke off on mine was still in there, but I managed to get it out with a screwdriver. It actually came up pretty easily.

 

Hehe...broken off bolts in that area are easy to get out...unlike broken LCA bolts

 

Heres a pic of the cover drying. The HONDA looks all weird cuz theres petroleum jelly on it. There's black paint under the jelly. I'll have more pictures of it installed on the engine tomorrow (assuming I can get the damn bolt).
