Hey,

I am just wondering if anybody knows for sure if the 06+ TSX valve covers fit our engines. I am in the middle of doing some engine dress up and might need to purchase a new valve cover.

I just noticed that it is a lot easier buying a 1st gen TSX valve cover. From my observations just on the surface, they look pretty similar. Thanks!

Our TSX



Old TSX




Heres a Pic of the 06+ TSX valve cover

 

I mean they had A2 version of the K24... probably just means they made slight changes in cams, or rocker arms or something. I would say it's pretty safe to say it would match up.

 

Hmmm, mos def doing this..if it fits! If u do it...take teaser shots!

 

Here is a cell phone picture with some of my engine parts already painted. But this is far from complete..it will look much better once its all done. My spark plug cover is off in the photo, because it's currently being painted purple too. Then the valve cover, I am hoping to make a full mirror polish, along with my RBC manifold (match my intake tube). Pretty much a polished + purple theme. So far I only have these 2 parts painted. It is the same purple as my wheels. I want to try and get a little more attention this year so I thought engine dress up was necessary.

And yea I ordered the PRL RBC manifold adapter kit so it should finally be able to work. Polish first though, then install :P

 

I should have put a clear coat on my pieces under the hood.

 

looks great!

 

I tried it wont fit the whole were you put the bolt on the 1gen wont line up with the 2nd gen

 

Thread hijack! Which SRI is that?

 

savclaude: really!? dayum ok well im pretty glad you chimed in cause I prolly would have just tried it out.

Simba: it is the takeda SRI. It also comes with parts to turn it into a cold air intake.

 

the holes will line up with the adapters from the civic si
the civic si cover will work,

I will let you know tonight if the cover works

 

Thanks kos!! Even if the civic si valve cover works (or the 1st gen TSX for that matter), doing the swap will require re-installation of all the gaskets and seals. Is that kind of universal or will it be affected by what kind of cover is being put on?

 

also, what year civic si were you referring to? 06+ or 12+

 

i was just talking about that plastic vtec manifold cover
the 2012 civic si will work

the cover and the 2 adapters are like $20 total
but it's black not silver

i dont think the 06 will work but I'll try
the cutouts for the pipes and other cutouts are clearly different


sorry should have readi t more carefully

 

damn my bad I could swear I thought OP mentioned the manifold cover
