very bad, it can make your engine miss fire, remove the valve cover and there will be a plug there, you probably took off your valve cover and dropped one and never noticed...i know because it happened to me....

Thats the Valve cover gasket.
I have a JDM B16 and mine looks the exact same.
I also looked at my friends crx and his looked the exact same.

Sorry everybody!!! I should have taken off my valve cover first...I just did that and it is a rubber O-Ring..but now I have a different question...I noticed that wherethe breather valve is there is some oil on the metal piecethat attaches to the hose..is that normal? I would think so considering it is directly attached to the valvecover.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

Yes, I just have a breather filter, for certain reasons, and it sometimes has oil on it.

that is a sparkplug o-ring gasket
they go bad all the time and it is no big problem, just replace it when you can, if there is no oil on your spark plug and in the hole you are fine
hell, ive driven with a few of them goofed up (and found out later on) and filled the holes up with oil and the car ran fine, but it was a big smokey mess when I pulled the plug out and let oil burn out, wouldnt reccomend that though because you can easyil foul out your plugs
