Putting the head back together i noticed there is a groove in the head between the number 3 cam cap and mating surface. It looks like an oring goes here, but there wasnt one there when i took everything apart.

Helms manual shows there one being in the groove, but many have said there wasnt one in their head either.

Simple quick yes or no is all im asking...If yes i have to take it back apart

 

It's not for the dowel pin is it? AFAIK there are not any o-rings on the cam caps....

 

No, not for the dowel pin. The oil orfice on the head under the cam cap has a circle groove that looks like an oring sits in.

 

What engine is this? H22, H23?

 

h22

 

Could it be #11 here?:

yup, just wanted to confirm with others that there is actually one there when they took theirs apart. Because there wasnt on mine

So i guess im taking it back apart.

Appreciate your help!! heres a six pack

 

 

i went to lowes and got a mix pack of orings. One of them fit in there.

 

Yeah, i have a baggy full of different size orings. Its finished now though. I hate that ****.
