Also a good idea to check the valve clearance while you're in there and if necessary re-adjust them to the proper factory specifications!

Good job on video. P. Kalaveras is right - Honda bond / RTV at the four corners per Honda bulletin. Also removing the passenger side and center bolts on the stabilizer bar will allow a small chunk of wood 2x4 to elevate the bar and two small pieces of rope to pull the PS hoses off to the passenger side will basically remove al obstructions for much easier in /out on the valve cover.

Love the sock !

How did you get the stud out of the plastic cover both of mine are on the cover

Thank you for making this video. I know creating these videos is not as easy at it looks. I want to preface my comment by saying that I've not completed this procedure before so I'm not sure how accurate the following information is. On another video, it was stated that one set of the four black round gaskets (in the Felpro package) is to seal the opening in the valve cover where the coil pack goes THROUGH as you have stated in your video. The other set is to be used to replace the seal between the "head" of the coil pack and where it meets the OUTSIDE of the valve cover. Do you agree that this other set of seals should/could be used for this? Thanks again.

I ended up damaging the surface around the seal itself tryin to pop em in. Can I still use it or do I have to buy another one?

You showed yourself struggling to get the cover out and then kind of described how you did it but did not show how you did it. You did it again on replacing the cover. (This is video not radio) Everyone who has never done this will struggle with both of these so for them instead of trying to push the power steering hoses to the side try pulling them to the center of the motor lift up the cover and slide sideways, the same moves in reverse on install. Tip: put a dab of silicone at ea 90-degree bend of the new gasket.
