So I was tightening the screws on the head of my B18C1 this morning and I accidently torqued one too much and it snapped. Is this going to be a problem, I checked it after driving for 20 miles and didn't notice any oil residue leak or any difference in the drive. See pic below. Also, does anyone know what this screw assembly is called? Is it easy to replace? What all is involved. Oh and thanks to whom ever picture this was.

 

your lucky it doesnt leak, did you use hondabond on the valve cover gasket? Its called a valve cover bolt and Im not sure how to replace that stud, im sure you can get it from Honda. I snapped on of my inner ones on the plug wire cover and replaced the stud from honda, it was $6!

 

It is a pretty easy fix. The valve cover needs to come off again and the stud replaced.

www.acuraautomotiveparts.org will have everything you need to do that.

 

damn beat me too it that is what i was going to say hahahahaha

 

if you buy gaskets they come with new screws, Shmoo and I figured that out

 

Thanks guys, but do you know if it is safe to drive?

 

So I guess I need (1)90012-PM7-000 BOLT B, HEAD COVER and one 90213-PH3-000 NUT, CAP (6MM). Is this correct? Thanks again

 

Ok getting confused: Is it this- 90006-P72-003 BOLT-WASHER (11X164)

or is it this 90012-PM7-000 BOLT B, HEAD COVER

 

Thoughts?

 

That's only if you buy the gasket kit. It's possible to get the gasket by itself, as well as the bolts/washers.
