Do all b18 valve covers interchange on the 2nd gen head? I wanted to get one of the smooth ones from a 3rd gen and put it on my 2g…Just looks cleaner to me. Anyone done this?
Matt
they are interchangeable. i even called the acura dealer a while back and they verified it.
i was curious about the pcv valve. on the 96+ integra valve covers, they run from the intake manifold into the head. but on my 93 teg, it runs from the intake manifold into one of the runners of the intake manifold. so if we just run the valve to the head, r we supposed to just plug up the old one??
You could just put one of those little air filter things that apc (and a bunch of companies make im sure) sell for like 10 bucks on it I would imagine.
i remember reading that putting those air filter things is not always a good thing
i did the valve cover swap on my teg a while back when i did a rebuild, and i just cut off the top “L” portion of the pcv valve ( i bought one for like 3 bucks) and filled in the hole with some high temp epoxy and then painted it black.
ljoe, can u post some pics pls. i would really like to see how that worke out for ya…
no problem, i’ll have em up tomorrow.
In the meantime, check out my b20 valve cover that I filled/shaved/painted.
Hope this image stays up for a bit (damn imagestation).
The cover has since been painted with black VHT wrinkle paint.
Try to copy/paste the image address (into a new window) if it doesn’t work.
