I was trying to add oil to my '94 Accord LX and when I finally managed to unscrew the tight filler cap I noticed that the cap was sheared off the hollow threaded part. It was strange because I was able to unscrew the threads with my bare finger. After cleaning the two halves I glued them together with Krazy Glue so I could hopefully drive with that glued oil cap to my nearby Honda dealer tomorrow morning for a new cap. It is only about 2 miles from my home.

The only problem is that I am not sure if that fixed cap will last that long, both due to the engine heat during the drive and the pressure pushing against that cap. Has anybody gone through this kind of problem before? I am not even sure what kind of pressure is in that cylinder head cover. If that is the same as the oil pressure in the engine then I don't think that Krazy Glue fix could contain it. The engine heat might be OK though for that short drive because it would be mostly on downhill and level road.

 

Honestly broke mine on a RA Odyssey (Same Engine as an Accord) last weekend bc I was just pissed and over tightened it not even noticing it, and boom sheared it right off. Just said screw it, threw it in the trash can, spun out the remnants of the threads and tossed it as well. Made sure no debris fell in the motor, then drove to Advance and picked up a new cap for $4. Fixed. lol

 

Yeah, just get one from Honda or run to your local junkyard in your brother's, friend's, or mom's car. You can always pocket a few for free at the JY. Lol.
