Valve cover difference
Are all the SOHC D17 valve covers the same? I have an EX will a LX or DX valve cover be interchangble?

Thanks.

Some of the bolts are on there pretty tight and you might need a breaker bar to remove them. Also remember that there is a gasket under there that might be tough to get off too.
