Product Overview
Fresh valve-cover hardware is a small detail that matters when old bolts are stripped, rusty, missing, or mismatched after engine work. The sealing washers also help apply even pressure around a compatible Honda or Acura B-series cover.
The kit replaces valve-cover fasteners and sealing washers. It cannot cure leaks caused by a failed perimeter gasket, warped cover, damaged threads, or excessive crankcase pressure.

B-series swaps and aftermarket covers may use different studs, lengths, washer profiles, and fastener counts. Compare the original hardware.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will new washers stop an oil leak? A: They may help at worn grommets, but the main gasket, tube seals, cover, and PCV system also require inspection.
Q: Does this fit every B-series cover? A: No. Factory and aftermarket covers can differ.
Q: How tight should the bolts be? A: Use the engine service specification; valve-cover hardware needs light, even torque.
Q: Is the kit cosmetic or functional? A: It can renew service hardware and also improve the engine-bay appearance.
