Heres a link..when you get to the site just click the honda-tech folder..

 

I am not sure, but next time just link directly to the pic. Alot of people are so ******* lazy, they will screw it.

EDIT: Sorry, I looked and I have no idea. =\

 

i tried to link to the pic but i kept getting a red x.

um if i am looking at it correctly, i have never seen that hole used. i use it to pic the engine out of the car with but never seen it used for anything else. i think it is 10mmx1.25 if i remember. but i dont know why oil would pour out of it as it is a blind hole. go figure. i have seen weirder. g/l anyway.

 

totally random guess(too tired to think alot), but could that be where the vtec solenoid hooks up?

i'm at school so i can't look at my car, and don't feel like lookin up pics of assembled heads online

 

if that was a d series it would not be for the vtec soleniod, it would be on the other side but since it was a b series i cant really help ya.....

 

naa vtec soleniod is higher..but its like right under that...i thought it ws just a blind hole first..but not when i went to start it one time and my freinds yelled at me to turn the car off..right now i have an old oil sending unit plugging it up until i can find the actual bolt..so anyoooone else that has an idea..let me know

 

if thats the intake side

nothing is on my b16 for that hole

if thats the exhaust side
its a 10mm bolt with a washer

Screw it.

 

that bolt hole along with the lower distributor bolt hole are a great way to pull/put the swap out/in the car.

Otherwise it serves no purpose. Yes that is the intake side of the head and the vtec solenoid is on a different side of the head.

No oil should come out unless someone threaded a bolt in the hole to far and cracked the head.

 

For the lazies

 

nope oil deffently comes out of the hole..anyway im going to get a picture of my actual engine tomarrow and i'll show guys..

 

Its probably just a lift point for the engine to ease installation in the factory and/or shop.
