hey... found this today. I dont think the crack will effect much, maybe a little oil dribble.

what do you think? This part does not rotate at all, just hold the o-ring there.

 

Use it. You might want to start looking for a new one. It will drip some oil. Where did the missing piece go. I hope it is not in the head

 

naw i have all the pieces, none are in the head at all

 

I'd replace the o-ring and add some Hondabond to seal it up better as well.

 

yep, as sayd just put a new o-ring.

O-rings seal against the inner & outer surfaces. Look whether the bottom of the groove is smooth, & the inside of the hole (in the head) is smooth. The O-ring doesn't seal against the surface that's broken.

Use a NEW O-ring, like everyone says.

What happened? Use a crowbar to take off the distributor?

 

naw i wasnt paying attention and put the dist on with the taper facing the wrong way. When I took it off that happened.

thanks for the advice

i think i know what you mean with the hondabond/o rings... i took off my oil pump and the o ring was almost eaten away by the hondabond! it was all brittle and mended itself to the hondabond
