if just the spark cover yeah but doesnt the rocker cover have to be torqued to certain levels?
also he said "apprently one of mine, just snapped..." apparently? he doesnt know? it doesnt give me alot of confidence
Very True, Yea just for future reference man, They do not need to be more then a few inch pounds of torque to hold. They do not move at all.Quote:

and the screw just snapped..that screw is part of the rocket cover and the spark plug cover...hard to explain , but it's attached to the block.
I snapped one of the inner studs (ones that the rocker cover and spark plug cover bolt to), cost me 14 bucks from Honda for a replacement stud. The outer studs are different to te inner ones, but there shouldn't be much difference in price. Just go into your Honda dealer and ask them to pull up a diagram of the rocker cover assembly for your car and point out which one it is you need :)
hey thanks man!
that was great help, when the screw snapped, i shit my self!!! hahaha
