It's kinda hard to tell you how it goes, but I'll try. You know how the bar is bent and one side is lower than the other....well, the short lower side goes on the left or on the side with the oil cap. The longer raised section goes over the engine. If you have a hard time removing your oil cap once the bar is installed, you can purchase an after market oil cap and that should cure your problem. Any cap that fits a Honda will fit our valve cover.
