tried to order one of these dowel pins from the dealer. Apparently, I ordered the wrong one. I thought it was a 10 x 12 dowel, number 28 on http://www.acuraparts247.com but I guess I am wrong.

Please help asap. I need one before the weekend.

Above is apicture to what I'm talking about.

don't worry about it. as long as the o-ring is there, you're cool. i've rocked motors that way before.

are you sure???? It just seems like when I put the cap on it doesn't seal super tight, maybe I'm wrong but it seems like honda engineers put it there for a reason.

dude, you're way too paranoid. i guarantee your **** will run fine without it. but if it'll make you sleep better at night, then buy a new dowel.
if it were me, i'd go ahead and assemble the motor without. let it eat.
