Got my head back from the shop. They called back saying they forgot to install this part. He said it goes in my head but couldn't explain where too well. Just that it is somewhere under the valve cover. I do not see a spot for it.

I don't see it either... http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...s=&view=normal 94

 

He thought that it probably wouldn't be on OEM parts diagrams bc you probably can't order the part. I don't know how that could be true. He thought that the part was under the valve cover towards the firewall side.

I search H-T and found a couple threads that mentioned them w/ LS Vtec but no diagrams.

This is throwing me for a loop.

 

Maybe in the very middle hole.

Where the arrow is pointing.


This is my GSR head, apperently there is supposed to be something like that in there, but mine doesn't have it in the hole.

 

I wouldn't think that there would be something in there. Is it threaded in your head?

 

Is that hole in the middle cam holder? If it is, that's for a dowel.

 

Is that dried coolant I see embedded in the threads? Maybe this isn't an oil-galley plug at all...

 

vtec end of the head. just above the intake is where i have one.

also if the head is still in the bag from the shop take it back make them fix it.

 

it looks like it goes on the intake side of the head (between the ports). or the one you remove for a ls/vtec conversion.

 

that copper looking plug for a fact goes on the intake side of the head in the top left corner if the head is installed and looking at it from the exhaust side. if head is off car looking at it from the intake side it will be top right hand corner. almost underneath and around the corner from the distributor pawl.

 

nope...the only thing that goes there is a dowel with an o-ring around it

 

that's correct. I had to put that piece back onto my gsr head when I bought an extra head from a guy who did a ls/vtec conversion. It's on the backside near the passenger side firewall.

 

Yeah it goes in the corner next to the distributor. If you don't install it, the hole bleeds oil pressure.

 

got an oil leak and i cant post a thread cause i just signed up. the leak is right under the cam gears http://s11.postimage.org/urbsjxqwj/Untitled.png Please help asap

 

What's the part number for that plug???

 

There are two of those brass 1/8" BSPT plugs in the VTEC heads and a third that is 3/8" BSPT removed for the LS/VTEC conversion.

One goes under the #5 intake cam cap by the distributor and the other goes between the #2 and #3 intake ports.

The parts diagrams don't have them so I usually get them from my engine builder or from McMaster-Carr.

If you don't re-install the one under the cam cap, the oil pressure will be reduced by 80%. If you don't re-install the one between the intake runners, oil will be all over the floor. It's the difference between an internal and external hemorrhage.

 

Guys sorry to bump this, but I need some help ASAP! Long story short, I was trying to break in my new block yesterday and I had oil gushing out this port on my head. I just want to confirm if this indeed is one the GSR head oil galleys? Also it looks bigger than 1/8 " BSPT.

 

maybe you can find it in here someplace:

page 6-54 perhaps?

 

I just looked at my spare gar head, there should be a allen head plug in that hole.

 

Yup, 1/8" BSPT brass plug. I forgot about that one...there are 3 total.

 

Thanks, you are both correct. It was a 1/8" plug. I installed it and no more leaks from that port.
