I'm leaking oil from the valve cover on my 2.2 97 accord ex. Is there any advice I should know before fixing this myself, It seems like an easy fix but I don't want to run into an unexpected problem. Any help would be great!

 

This belongs in General Tech so I'll move it.

 

If it's anything like my 92 Accord engine, it's pretty easy. Clean the valve cover and top of the head. Put the new gasket in the valve cover, and apply a little gasket sealant at the corners where the valve cover goes over the camshaft. DO NOT over tighten the little cap nuts that hold down the valve cover, they only require around 7 ft lbs of torque. You can snap those little studs easily. Change the spark plug tube gaskets and gromets for the cap nuts too.
