[:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]Well, I went to Honda and the bolt isn't going to be in until Thursday, so until then, no Civic for me. Also, It's been absolutely pouring here, and it's extremely wet out, so I'm going to have to change the oil also, because there condensation all over the engine, and probably in the oil because I only have the valve cover resting on the engine, and all of the bolt holes are open.[:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]

Here's another pic. I still have a little touching up to do, but overall I'm pretty pleased with the turnout.

When i was replacing the valve cover seal on my mom's car (didn't even fix the problem [:@]) i remember having to torque something to inch pounds. I'm completely sure that there is a bolt that has to be bolted to inch pounds, but i think one of them do.

All of the bolts on my valve cover are supposed to be torqued to like 80 in/lbs or something like that, which is just under 7 ft/lbs.
