I have a 2003 civic ex 1.7L and i was thinking about getting a valve cover and i ran into the tenzo r covers and i kinda like them but it says its for the 1.6L civic
and i wanted to know if it would fit or if i should just stay stock

thanks

You need one specifically for the D17 because the oil dipstick is in a different location than all the other d-series motors.

I got a quote from a chrome shop to chrome out the valve cover for 120 bucks. I really wanna do it. I like chrome, in the engine bay, but not on wheels or inside the car.

I don't mean to hi-jack this thread but how do I get the valve cover off? I have an 01 lx. Do I need to remove that plastic shroud on the right hand side, is there something I am missing under there? Any help would greatly be appreciated, and again I don't mean to hijack this thread I just really need to get that cover off, thanks.

yeah you take the shroud off and i think you take the spark plugs out and the bolts on the cover i think i would have to go look at it again

Nope I got it, just 5 bolts and a whole lotta wiggling. Thanks to GoT RiCe1184 and xROBxCOREx for the help it is much appreciated.

thanks so far i do kinda like it i put up another thead about an exhaust i found the tsudo n1 have you heard anything on it

Nope I learned to keep it stock. Anything I added just added noise and no real performance gain. If you do plan on modding keep in mind it will mostly be for looks/sound don't expect any extra ponies. Just keep it clean and most people won't flame you.

That was the plan i was debating on exhaust and ram air intake since it just a daily driver
