There is an o-ring that sits under the center cam cap, on top of that oil orifice but I dunno where to get it. I went to Honda and took my helms but the helms and their computer only shows one around that oil orifice where you can't see it once installed in the head. If you read the current Honda Tuning mag they have an article(civic to prelude swap) that shows that particular o-ring and a close up pic but I dunno where to get it. It appears it would need to be a special one, by the sides of the walls and ****. I don't want to put some generic o-ring in there and have my cams get eaten up AGAIN. Any help as to where to look, I'd appreciate it. I'm gonna take the mag up to the Honda dealer and see if that helps, but they seem to be not so smart.

 

part number 18335, oil control orifice O-ring.

 

coolio...i'll be at honda tomorrow and see what they say now!!....btw, thats the o-ring on top of the orifice not wrapped around it correct?

yes.

 

That isn't a Honda part number.

 

so now what?

 

really? i got it from Autoway Honda off their computer.

It must be an internal part number.

Honda part numbers are in the form xxxxx-xxx-xxx

 

anyways, for the part, try http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

but you'll end up paying more in shipping, so either order a bunch of parts, or go back to your dealer

 

So I go to Honda to find it and no luck AGAIN...they search every damn catalog, every head from 92-01 and no o-ring....but that damn Honda Tuning mag swears its vital....i dunno what to do.
