The replacement of the valve cover gasket is relatively similar on 4 and 6 cylinders engines.

Remove the nuts on the valve cover, tap the side of the cover to break it free. It is a good practice when you replace the valve cover gasket to also replce the grommets for the valve cover nuts as well.

Clean each surface of the head and valve cover, usually wiping with a clean cloth will do. Sometimes you might have some silicone to remove, either way make sure you have clean & dry surfaces before placing the new gasket on the head.

Tighten the valve cover nuts snug, then go back and give them a final torque (my '95 accord torque spec is 7.2 ft. lbs).

Hope this helps,

Steve
