Broken Valve Cover Bolt
Does anyone know the size and specs of the valve cover bolts?
(threat pitch, ength etc).
I had one break off and it needs replaced so I was wondering if anyone knew the specs

Best to get it from the dealer, IMO.

Can you get the stud out?

Not sure. Try one of the online dealerships to see if the bolt specs are listed there. You could also order a few bolts through them as well if the 4 hour round trip is too much of a pain (and it would be for a few bolts, I feel your pain!).

Dude I think you're screwed without getting to the dealer, or having some shipped to you.

Acura Parts @ AcuraOEMparts.com - Genuine Acura OEM Parts from Delray Acura

Note that the cylinder head cover only has NUTS holding it on from the top (part 15+16). The bolts are in the next diagram and are attached to the cylinder head and there are two types (parts 8 + 9). You MUST be sure to use/order the correct ones, and use the PROPER torque specs to attach these!!:

Acura Parts @ AcuraOEMparts.com - Genuine Acura OEM Parts from Delray Acura

These are highly specific bolts that I highly doubt even a specialty fastener store would have available.

Call the nearest dealer or any online-selling dealer (like acuraoemparts.com) and have them send you some. At least it'll be the right part and not a guess.
