Before you NOOBIES even start. This is the pistion that locks the rocker arms together.

I am looking at part numbers and all but, the only thing I see is the whole rocker assembly. I don't want to spend 100 dollars for a rocker assembly when all I need is one little cylinder of steel the size of a pea.

BTW, if you happen to have a parts book in front of you....D16Y8.

I searched around for a bit and all I can find is the whole assembly. Doesn't mean it's not out there.
Good for a bump though.

I believe you can only get the whole assembly.

I would almost agree however, why would you have to purchase a whole new assembly if the valve bumper? on the rocker arm has worn down? It's just a screw and a bolt.

Just trying to see if anyone knows or has tried to find one.

-I am truely hating having to move on my B-Day and loosing such a little part of the head.

I bet you it's all sold as one. Honda does funny stuff like that.

One time I needed the pulley from an Si tb. I called Honda and was notified that I'd have to spend $550 on a whole tb assembly. Sucks.
