I had to pull the distributor off my 95 Accord EX today and when I bolted it back up I snapped the top mount off of the head side. It looks like it also holds down the end of the camshaft but I dont know what to call it when I call me dealer. Anyone know there are the 2 main ones on the ends and 3 in the middle. I saw them on the diagram but they aren't numbered?

Thanks

just found another post with a similar problem and they called it the camshaft caps. If anyone has any more info I appreciate it.

IIRC, some engines this dist. side cam cap doesn't have a cam journal in it. it just fills in the gap and offers a place for the dist. o-ring to seal. this is not the case will all engines though. the trouble is- if it has a journal in it- is that the rocker assembly (all cam caps, rocker shafts, rockers...) is matched to the head. to miss-match with a replacement part... at a minimum i would plastigage the journal before assembly. the best case would be to line hone the journals.

either way, i wouldn't get it from the dealer if i could help it. since it's not going to be matched anyway, try to get it from a salvage yard or private seller parting out a motor.
