There are five valve cover bolts (since this is an SOHC engine it's also called a cam cover); two longer bolts in the rear and three shorter bolts in the front. You will need to remove the spark plug wires and the wire harness located on the left, front of the cover, as well as a hose on the rear left corner to remove the cover. The bolts have a 10mm head. The bolts are tightened starting with the front, middle bolt, then back right, back left, front right, and front left. They are tightened to 86 in-lbs and it is very common to over-torque them and snap them off.

remove bolts on top of valve cover, use a putty knife or a paint scrapper to remove old gasket from valve cover and cylinder head be careful not to get anything in the head. use a type of silicone to secusre new gasket to valve cover and use only on the valve cover side. a little bit will do a few spots around it and put cover back on. tighten bolts from center out and do not over tighten. just snug them up.

it depends on what year civic you have and what motor is in it as to where the bolts are located. but you remove the bolts, scrape the old gasket of of the head with a razor (be careful not to scratch or gouge) and you install the new gasket and valve cover. tighten the bolts to recommended specs, on mine i believe it is 32-35 inch pounds
