Ok so I was reinstalling my valve cover today and I snapped one of the bolts.. is this bad? Or

[Admin]

you mean u snapped the stud?

[Bum Status]

He snapped the stud, but the head isn't ruined, he didn't strip the head.

[ManTyme]

buy it new from the dealer its cheap and easy to install

[Admin]

yeah i acutally did the same..

The stud is about like 6 dollars.. Go order it from honda, you will be all set.

[jdmego]

Yes as in I went to loosen it and it broke.. so the stud can be pulled up but won't come out.. so the threaded part is prob still in the head..

[jdmego]

I'm just worried it'll happen to the others because I tightened them a lot and the one I tried to loosen snapped

[jdmego]

the whole stud is intact up until where its like a washer type thing to keep it from going in to much.. so this means just the threaded part is in there.. am i ************ed? how will i get it out?

[CTgoldhatch]

not so tight then

[LS/Vtec]

it's easy. take the valve cover off. Look, and you'll be able to figure it out from there.

[jdmego]

gonna do it tomorrow.. while im at it im gonna get the gasket kit for the cover a new stud and a torque wrench

that was going to be my recomendation. replace it and look up the torque specs for it... if you havent already goetten it out borrow a buddies screw extractor... i had to do it before... not a big deal... good luck
