Several years ago I swapped a JDM B18c into my EF hatch. throughout the years, small bits and pieces have wound up missing. one of the things I currently need are the nuts that hold the spark plug cover in place. When I do an online search, I get lots of hits for valve covers, spark plug cover (w/o the nuts), or just the valve cover nuts. Nothing comes up for just the spark plug cover nuts. Does anyone know a place that sells just the spark plug cover nuts for a decent price?

 

You can order generic M6 acorn nuts on eBay or Amazon. A lot cheaper than buying the OEM ones.

 

Not just acorn nuts though. They are Acorn "Flange Nuts". I never could find a suitable aftermarket replacment.

Honda/Acura part# is 90213-PH3-000

BTW: The older versions on my CRX had plating that seems to hold up much better over time. Honda part# 90207-PA0-010 or 90207-PC0-000. You WONT find those at dealerships though. Possibly on ebay from new old stock. I just grabbed 8 off the motors of late-80's early-90's Civics & Accords in the junkyard.

 

Yes, the newer plated ones are ****.

94eg! could you please post a photo of what the 80's plating looks like?

 

Sorry all my images are trapped on photobucket. Either way, they are the same shape as the newer ones, but look to be hard-chrome plated. They match the Type-R oil cap and the Type-R valvecover grommets (but more smooth mirror like the oil cap).

 

I use
90201-P8E-A00 NUT, CAP (6MM)
is chrome and cheap msrp $1.10 per looks lot nicer and doesn't corrode

 

2012 (for example) TL intake manifold cover uses bright (chrome) 6mm cap nuts, same design as our spark plug cover cap nuts, but nice & shiny.
I did a valve adjustment on one of these the other day and can confirm they are chrome and not a dull finish.

Delray wants $3.21 for our 90213-PH3-000
The TL chrome ones are $0.83 for 90201-P8E-A00

Nicer and cheaper! edit: I just saw the post above mine from 94rs-turbo mentioning the same part haha

 

you guys are right the generic ones I got does not have a flange and the finish is pretty crappy compared to oem. Thanks for the 411 on the newer 6mm one!
