^^^ not owning a civic i wouldnt be 110% sure but im willing to wager my money on no. plugs go beyond the valve cover and are screwed directly into the head so you shouldnt have to take them out to remove the cover.

Good stuff. I read some other sources after my post and they all say the same thing.

They also mention the TQ spec on the valve cover nuts to be 7ft/lb. So it is more like hand tigthen then 1/2 turn with an open wrench or something like that?
