valve cover bolt

[ngejie]

i bought my civic about 6 months ago and i noticed that i'm missing a bolt to my valve cover(bottom right corner) i was wondering where i could pick one up because i have a oil leak from that corner of the valve cover. btw it's 2000 EX coupe.

junkyard, they will probably give it to you for free

If not, dealerships will definitely have them, you'll just overpay for one lol

I broke one a couple months ago..

I couldn't find one at the local Junkyard so I had to pay I think it was $13 for it at the dealership

Lol, not necessarily. Even at Porsche we give the common little stuff like that away for free to our customers. The more common bolts, washers, nuts, etc we have in bins as shop supply. I am sure Honda has the same thing. Our whole auto group (the owner owns Porsche, Audi, Mercedes, VW, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Cadillac, Jeep, Chrysler, and Dodge dealerships) has bins like that.

Depends on the hardware though. They may not give those for free. All depends on where they get the hardware from and if they have that particular size/thread pitch. If it is something that they can only get from Honda, expect to pay for it.

I don't really think VC bolts are common though, plus the bolt is probably $5 or so... D series VC bolts are pretty long, they're not just common bolts you can buy from a hardware store.

You are probably right. I don't recall how long or what size the VC bolt is. Sounds like the cheapest route is going to be a junkyard then.

VC bolt is about 13 at dealership, 2.50 is you buy it on HPN or HPU

Look it up and buy it online, maybe get new rubber washers to go with it
