2004 Acura TL MAKEOVER Continues (STRIPPED valve cover hole fix, power lost when I turned the Key!)

In this episode, I was finally able to put back the valve covers after painting them and replacing the gaskets.
I had to fix a few stripped valve cover holes and that took quite some time with ordering the necessary parts.
I sandblasted the intake manifold as well.
Then in the end I was scared because I lost power as I turned the key! luckily that was a simple fix.

Nicee, I’d baby it since it’s an automatic, the early years of this gen (04-06)auto transmissions are notorious

The 5 speed autos suck big time

@@epiphanyofCorrectness yes they are notoriously bad, very content with my 6spd manual

Need you to come help me out man I broke the bolt off in the back of the valve cover gasket and the car hasn’t moved because I can’t figure out how to drill out the old bolt and retap it
