I was replacing the valve cover gasket and made it to the last bolt, when I broke the housing. Torque wrench either clicked and I didnt hear or something just wasnt set right.

Anyways it is the aluminum housing that holds the distributor and intake cam shaft. Ive posted a picture for reference. It doesnt look like I can order it directly from Acura, but if anyone knows where I might pick one up asap that would be great. Also if anyone knows the actual name for the part that would be helpful as well.

 

MM&Y of car, or car engine is from?94

 

Have you checked your local bone yards?94

 

sorry.. its a 94 integra GSR sedan B18C1.

Ive found out from other posts I believe its going to be a camshaft holder or camshaft cap intake side and it looks like they aren't "inter-changeable". Ive been searching for the last hour and have been reading conflicting things....some say its ok others no way.

 

You cant interchange them. the cam end cap is matched to the engine. the only way you could put another one on correctly is to have it machined.

If it was my car and i screwed up that bad i would try my luck with the junk yard. and then hope it works.

try your luck its the cheapest way. unless you have cash to spend, get a newer engine.
