Default Need quick answer........should be simple, Honda people inside

Gotta go to BFE to change a valve cover gasket, plugs, and wires on a '94 Accord. Not even sure what model it is, but it has a 4 cylinder. Plugs and wires are self-explanatory.....and I can only assume the VCG is as well. I just need to know what tools I'll need.....

Anyone help out?

TIA

Haha, just barely. He said the plugs and wires were obvious so I was hoping he'd be intelligent enough to take the plug socket.

Thanks fellas. These VC's have the half-arc cam ridges like most OHC motors? Just need to know if I should bring some RTV for those if so.....

Yes, It can't hurt, especially depending on the age of said shit box. You shouldn't need any, the valve cover has its own little slot that it sits in all around the valve cover, but a little here and there won't hurt.
