Default Where to buy OEM Camshaft Seal and Plug?

Can anyone enlighten me as to which website to find the OEM camshaft seal and plug that is on the passengers side? I am having no luck at all and I am not interested in aftermarket parts for this job.

Thank you.

At any Acura dealer. There's only one part: the plug. I think the plug's about $10. It's part #7 in the diagram on this page:

But to do a proper, permanent, Honda-specified repair job, you need the TSB that Honda has issued that shows you how to do it. PM me and I'll send you a copy.

I Though that there was also a little round seal that goes inside that black cap?

No, the cap is it.

The cap has a couple of rings molded into it. Those were originally supposed to do the sealing, but they've proved inadequate. Honda has a fix that's outlined in a TSB. It involves the careful and precise use of something like Permatex Ultra Black or Ultra Grey.

If you want a copy of the TSB, PM me with your email address.

If you need to replace it, you should look into the skunk2 cam seal. It has a couple more rubber rings, I believe, in order to help minimize the chances of it leaking. It's much better than the OEM one, and for 20 bucks, you can't go wrong.

I would just replace a lot of aftermarket companies make aftermarket cam seals with double and even triple ring seals. And they are not that expensive and less likely to leak. I went with the skunk 2 one never had a problem so far.
