hey whats up everybody. i was trying to change my head gasket today. and after i was done doing that that. i put on the vtec cover. and acciddently i broke one of the bolts off, i tighten it to hard. and i was wondering if its connected to the engine? or just the cover. im just worried that it might leak oil out. well any input be nice. thanks.

I'm pretty sure those are replacable studs, so you should be ok, just head to the dealer.

i just brought the parts today, and at 2 i started to take the vtec cover apart. Omg there is so many ****ing screws. well i took out the old gasket and put the new one in. when i was done. i put everything back together. i warmed up the car, and holy ****. the back part of the cover was leaking out OIL. the gasket had gone out of place when i put on the cover. now im ****ed. tommorrow another 3 hours outside.

hmm , i thought that engine had a rubber liner around the valve cover ? , not a "cork" gasket .
mabe im wrong , and why does it take you 3 hours to replace a valve cover gasket anyway ?
thats like a 45 min job bro , speed it up , lol .
:D :) :D
