How To: Replace a Valve Cover Gasket | 2003-2007 Honda Accord 

Thanks bro, your tutorial was straight fire, and not a bunch of excessive talk!!!!! Appreciate you taking time out of your day to help.

Exceptional step by step video with thorough information and demonstration. Thank you!

Awesome video bro, just fixed my wife’s car, many thanks!

Fantastic instructional! Straight to the point w very clean video and concise information! Thank you! 04 accord w 379,000 miles and still peppy as ever! Th

I have the same honda accord with over 400k and runs very well. This car was built to last.

Thank you Nick. It worked out pretty easy just like you instructed in the video.

You saved me $500, thank you.

Well made video that helped a lot. I replaced the gasket and PVC valve on my daughter's '07. Runs like a top.

i got a 05 accord with 355,000 miles on it still runs great engine sounds great

Thanks for this video! I just followed your directions and it went smoothly! Also did my sparkplugs while I was at it👍

Excellent short and sweet video.

Well done video with clear instruction. Excellent job for novices wanting to DIY maintenanace. Thanks much.

I would suggest you mention torque specs for future tutorials. A beginner might overtighten the bolts and they will have a very bad day aftewards.Get a decent torque wrench guys! Especially for enginework!

Amazing Walkthrough. 🎉

Hi Nick, after 4 years, how has this repair held up for you? I have a 2004 accord with a leaky valve cover gasket and wanted to know if your repair worked well or if there is any changes or tips that you could give me. Great video btw.

Awesome job

This is so good. Can i ask though, the kit i got has 8 rings, one with a lip. I saw that you only used the one with the protrusion?

Well done brother!!

Excellent video! Obligatory Liked and Sub’d! 👍▶️🔧

Great video, very helpful…thank you!

Good video thanks

I'm not going to criticize your work cause I'm not a mechanic but I would be more careful with those spark plug coils. Unplug them before you take them out. Keep on keeping on Bro

Two questions... did you remove the plugs and I missed it or are the screwed into the cover so they cane out with the cover. Second question, can you provide the torque specs for the reassembly? Other that thise two lingering questions, very well done

Coming from a complete novice here with a question. I need to do this job and I've watched a few videos up here. I really appreciate your camera angle and tips. 👍 When you remove the four tubes (my ignorance showing here) and flipped them over their electrical connections to get them out of the way, I noticed you took great care to cover the inside from where they were removed with rags. If you're placing the tubes back into their respective spaces after the gasket replacement, why is there no concern about any engine grime they may have picked up when they were flipped over? Does it even matter?

Did you disconnect the battery? Can you short circuit something if you don't disconnect the battery and you do this type of job?

Fuckin A man! Absolutely awesome video that showed me what I need to do with my '04Honda Accord

I really think this is the issue with my car but my mechanic is telling me its so much more. Would you reccomend starting with this and seeing if it still leaks?

I have a small gap between the cover and the mating surface, i did everything correctly and even took it off amd out back on 3 times now, the gasket is seated properly i even held it upright and the gasket doesn't come out at all, i even torqued it down to the correct torque setting, is it supposed to have a small gap?

Nice video. As you most likely know, a battery-powered ratchet will save a considerable amount of time.

I did all the instructions in the video an I crunk it up an oil started coming out an smoking from the oil burning on the engine. Did I not put enough silicone in the corner’s ?

I want to change rocker cover gasket, solenoid gasket and pcv valve ...where can I buy it online??...I live in Australia thanks

How much oil were you losing ?

Might you know what the torque specs is for the bolts? And bolt sequence?

You didn't mention anything about the torque foot pounds on those valve cover bolts what is the foot pounds

My girlfriend wrecked my 04 accord. I replaced the whole front end. But now the hood won't latch back down. Any advice would be most helpful

Do you have to take the oil out first oh no?

Is silicone a must?

Should’ve took off the dip stick first. I could tell you also just learning great video 👍

Thanks for taking time putting this together. You did a good job, but I think you missed some important/helpful things along the way. When you pull out the coil wires the way you did (without first disconnecting the coil wires), you risk breaking those connections. I'm assuming you used brake fluid cleaner to clean the cover before painting it. You should use dielectric grease on the inside/outside of the spark plug tubes, as well as on the inner seals so they slide in easily. That would eliminate the need to pound them in as you did. You can find some other useful tips on this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WJD6SLOiL50.html&lc=Ugx5YKwfugSK4oPRysB4AaABAg.9n0EbW6tv779n15Yc0p_ee The OEM valve cover gasket set part# is 12030-RAA-A01

2. C.V. JOINT(left-outer) axel shaft(one side) removal/install tutorial Please! :D

Remember to put hondabond on the corners of the timing chain. I'm surprised you didn't put it there since there was the major leak

Did you torque cover down. Mine is still leaking

Damn you forgot to remove the DIPSTICK first! LOL

What all tools do I need ?
