FYI, the 9th gen 2015-2017 Honda Accords do not have the screw in type spark plug tube seals. The tube seals are pressed into the valve cover. So, if the tube seals get hard or leak you will have to buy a new valve cover. This video applies only to the 2013-2014 9th generation Honda Accords.

Yes. This information is CORRECT. 2015 -2017 uses an spark plug grommet which is built in the valve cover which can't be serviced separately.

Holy crap! 6 minutes to make this vid is impressive! I was going to make a video on this myself, but decided to take the car into a dealership since I'm due for a valve adjustment (currently @ 138,000mi.) Getting quoted $450 for a valve cover gasket & a valve adjustment. Not the cheapest price but the valve adjustment requires more special tools and expertise than I have Thanks again for the content

As someone with big hands it was difficult to get the back connection off as my car had the plastic housing loose. I just undid the alternator wires (12mm socket), and the 3 connectors for that harness and I was able to move everything out of the way.

I tried getting it off for a half hour and gave up: pried and wiggled it while pressing the tab but no luck. The clip came apart twice without coming off. More detail on this step would be very useful. I suspect there is a tool or trick to it. Disconnected the harness connections on the front instead (alternator, etc.) like most other videos to move the harness out of the way. I also disconnected the battery.

Hi, just found your channel, nice quick and clean. Just bought a 17 Accord coupe with very low mileage from a Honda dealer, car runs very well and smooth, after taking her home, I did a very close inspection on the engine block, I saw small amount of gunk on engine block corner beneath the plastic cover. I am sure there is a small seepages. I know it is a fairly easy fix but I am surprised to see such a new car already has gasket issue.

Wonder how much a repair shop should charge customers to change the valve cover gasket on a 2016 Accord? Just making sure they aren't overcharging me. They quoted me $350 for parts and labor. Is this accurate? Thanks. Just hard to trust dealers too sometimes, cause my wife took her car to get inspected and dealer said she needed to replace 1 headlight bulb and they charged her $80-90 to do it before they would pass inspection. They duped her pretty good IMO, so wasn't too happy about that.
