Rocker cover

[Andrew]

Just noticed on top left of the red rocker cover that there is no Nut holding that corner down. Is it a Nut or Bolt as there is no thred showing just a hole where it should be held down, there's no oil leaking.:dance:

You've answered your own question there, if theres no thread then its a bolt.

I think it might be a stud screwed into the head with a nut on top?

Just had a look and there is metal in the hole used a pin and torch and was hiting metal so it looks like a stud thats broken of at the top where the nut should be about 10mm down . So when i get the valves checked i will get the stud replaced and new nut. Must off been done before i owned the car as the rocker cover has never been of yet. No oil leaks so should be fine.
cheers

if its a K20A2 then yes its a stud in that location as Neily said.

I wouldn't be surprised if the old ones been snapped and never fixed

After doing some looking there seems that on a american manual that i downloaded that there are Six stud bolts that fix the Rocker cover. The top left corner is just a bolt that in the manual is just fixed to the rocker cover holding a bracket. If you look at the picture above 2 go at the side of the honda Logo, 1 near the coil on the left, 3 Bolts at the front bottom. You see there is no Stud on the left side at the back just for a bolt to make it look good. I may be wrong.

No idea which one you're talking about mate, but if it ain't broke...

Facelift and prefacelift covers are different, on two holes only. I know this because I replaced my preface cover (with attached bolt), with a FL cover (no bolt attached).

FL need the #9 above.

It was top left that changed :s

Its the bolt closest to the clutch fluid
