I'm new to this board, so please be patient with me. My wife has a
1995 Accord V6. She got her oil changed at Sears auto center, and
immediately after this the car started leaking oil. She brought it
back once or twice, but they said they didn't cause the leak,
whatever. She brings it into the dealer, who fixes the ignition coil
for free as a part of another problem. They said there is a 'leak in
the engine head side covers, needs new seals'. The parts are $28, but
there is 3 hours labor, $230.00. OK, here's my question: are the
engine head side covers the same as the side valve covers ? If so, why
would it take 3 hours to change the seals on these? It doesn't look
like that much of a job, can anyone who has done this job comment?
Like are the bolts on the cover that faces the firewall impossible to
get to? Thanks...
