I need a favor. I know somebody around here has to have a junk B16A2 laying around. If you're that person, could you look on the back of the block and see if there are plugs where the JDM oil cooler goes or if those holes were just never tapped on the USDM B16.

Reason I'm asking is because I have a built B16A (JDM) block and those holes are open to the water jacket. I picked up some brass plugs and used an assload of teflon tape on the threads, but they still drip coolant. I need those plugs if there are indeed some that come in a USDM B16. Honda is useless in this case because if they can't find it on their damn computer it doesn't exist in their minds. I swear, if you took the computers away from dealerships, they'd be even more worthless than they are now.

Anyway, if you have a scap B16 and want to make a buck or two by selling me those plugs, I'd appreciate it.

TIA

 

did you try

or

They use the same catalogs the dealership uses, and those plugs are nowhere to be found.

 

I am looking to do the same thing.
If you find out the thread size do me a favor and let me know please.
I have been searching everywhere with NO luck

Thanks a TON!
