i posted this in the tech forum but thought many people in this forum probably have ran into this problem. so i have a gsr block that has a stock oil cooler, and i went to the hondaautomotiveparts website and found the male to male oil filter fitting (assuming it is the same honda/acura) part number 18309.

now the coolant drain plug on the back of the block, i cannot find that anywhere, but i did see the one on the front of the block near the oil dipstick, the 28mm drain plug, im assuming that is the same as the back of the block one? its part number 18342 and the washer is 18349. just making sure im doing this right? thank you guys.

 

I have never removed the one on the front, but the plugs on the back for the PCV system are 28 x 1.0mm. So, I can only assume that if the plugs on the back of the motor are 28x1.0mm, than they are the same as their front 28mm counterparts.



A word about the front ones though - my friend removed his to drain his coolant and when he reinstalled it, he stripped the fittings because they are so fine pitched.

Also - if you need the tool to remove the fittings, PM me... I bought a snap on tool and also a craftsman tool, so I dont need both

 

i just checked on another block, the plug on the front of the block is a lot bigger than the one on the back.

im talking about the coolant port used for the stock gsr oil cooler, its above and to the right a little of the coil filter. its a 14mm head plug, i cant seem to find the part number for that plug.

 

i have a picture that i can email anyone that can help. i am on dialup right now so there is no way im uploading it.

 

ohhhhhhhhh crap sorry I misread.

I was never able to find that part on any online parts store either. Its the one where you need a 14mm allen head socket to remove, correct?

Here is a picture of mine... I drilled a hole in the middle and had a fitting welded on for PCV purposes.
