Need help getting correct bolt for B16 head
Hey guys I'm having trouble finding the right bolt for the head. I've circled the hole in the link to show which one I'm referring to. http://imgur.com/mfjPP60 any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Need help getting correct bolt for B16 head
Well, it's not actually a bolt. What you need is a 1/8" NPT (pipe) plug. It seals the hole drilled during the manufacturing of the head to create the pathway for oil to travel to the VTEC solenoid assembly. It is plugged from the factory... and is not normally ever removed unless a machine shop pulls it in order to do a REALLY thorough hot-tank cleaning. Since that one is missing, I would check the matching hole/plug under the distributor cam cap (intake side) just above what you have pictured and make sure it isn't missing too... if it is, VTEC won't work and you have to pull the cams out to actually see that there is a problem... which most overlook.
