so i opened my hood today to find my valve cover was leaking oil by the gasket..im like s**t
so i take it off and see the my rubber seal is ripped...ordered a new one but it wont come till tomorrow!
so im putting back my valve cover, and one bolt outta nowhere ( i have a 97 hx, theres 5 bolts...2 long and 3 short ones) and a long one breaks at the thread..so the thread is stuck in the head and the bolt came off
i was f**ked..so i go to honda and get a replacement for $10..whatever i needed it..my buddy somehow gets the broken thread out and im on my way
my question is...
how much do u torque the valve cover bolts? are you even suppose to torque them? lemmi know so maybe i can stop the leaking
thanks!
