No one in tech knows so I'll try here.
Just got back from Acura with the new P72 cam plug.
Has anyone used this one before? any trick to the install?
It's alot different than the P30.
It's thinner, has 4 prongs and 2 o-rings.
1/2 the price of the P30, as well.
Use hondabond ? or don't bother?
Any first hand info would be of help.

We are talking about the cam plug on the exhaust side, by the vtec solenoid. Correct?

If so, yes, use honda bond. Once you get ready to install it, you'll know where to put the honda bond.

Yes, exhaust side. But it's not for a VTEC engine, it's a B18A.
Are talking the P30 or this superceeded # P72?
The guy at Acura said it's the new one with o-rings. And it doesn't need hondabond. And I didn't trust that info, I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with this one,a P72 without hondabond. I justed wanted some confirmation one way or the other.
Thanks for your help.

Dude it's common sense. You put hondabond on two metalic surfaces that mate with the gasket/plug to create a 100% tight seal.

See, that's what I thought.
That's why I was asking.
I couldn't trust the Acura counter guy's opinion.
Thanks.
