How to replace the inspection plate of the distribution cover of the Honda Civic

Model: Honda Civic MK 8 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we see how to replace a little-known component such as the inspection plate of the distribution cover: it is a removable section of the cover, which allows access to check the condition of the belt, tensioners and other components, without having to completely remove the cover, simplifying periodic maintenance operations. It is located on the right side of the engine, and we can find the spare part on hondaparthub.com with the code 15112-RNA-A00 at a price of $6.11 + unspecified shipping costs. The piece is held by three screws, very easy to reach; on the back we will find a gasket, which we will remove from the seat with a metal brush, being careful not to leave any traces. Then we spread the new sealant on the back of the plate and position it: we then tighten the three screws and the operation is complete.
