  How to remove and install a valve cover on 2.2L four cylinder engine on 2001 Honda Passport?

  A:

  Disconnect the negative battery cable and remove the air intake duct. The wire routed across the forward end of the valve cover is the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor wire; disengage it from the small guides on the valve cover. Disconnect the two PCV hoses from the valve cover and detach the intake duct bracket from the cylinder head by removing the two bolts, noting the ground wire attached to the forward bracket bolt to ensure it is reattached during installation. Remove the spark plug wire cover, disconnect the spark plug wires from the plugs, and set the plug wires aside. Disconnect the electrical connector from the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor and set the CMP sensor electrical lead aside. Remove the 10 valve cover bolts and take off the valve cover. Remove the old valve cover gasket and the sealing rings around each bolt hole, discarding them. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring to use a new valve cover gasket and new sealing rings for the bolt holes while tightening the valve cover bolts to the specified torque.
