Daniel Guzman says:

There is oil inside the little hose that links the valve cover and the air intake hose. Is that normal?. I was told to replace the valve cover gasket because there is oil inside the the air intake

Thanks for the video. I followed this to replace my 04 crv engine cover gasket. Some important information was not mentioned in the video. There is a fixture at the right side of the engine next to the air filter, you will need to unscrew the 10mm bolt under 2 lines to have better room to get the cover out. The 10mm bolt is really hard to access. Otherwise you will find the fixture at the right lower corner is perfectly in your way to lift the engine cover. I ended up broke one engine cover stud bolt by over tighten once I put the engine cover back. And distorted another engine cover bolt too. Then I realized Honda has specific torque on engine bolts. So the torque to tight the engine cover nuts is 7.2 ft lbs. In case someone broke the stud bolt in the engine like I do. The torque to tighten the engine cover stud bolt is 16 ft lb and you will need a 12mm deep socket to replace them. The torque for engine coil is 8.8 ft lb.
