MISSING BOLT IN MY HONDA
ok i have a 93 eg hatch with a ls\vtec swap
so i put my new pistons and rods in a few weeks ago. well when i go to start it there was a wierd knocking noise. so i take the valve cover off to see what it was and to re adjust the valves and there was a bolt missing that should have been there before. its one of the bolts on the exhuast side of the lifters i was told that its needed so u dont drop a valve.
is there any kind of advice anyone can give me on this. i just really need to get this car running asap.
any help would be appreciated.
and keep any negative comments to yourself please.

Re: MISSING BOLT IN MY HONDA
You can buy the bolt at the dealership or order some... but i'd be more worried about where the original bolt went. No need to loctite. Factory specs is sufficient. I believe it is 20lbs. I can double check when i'm not lazy
