Default oil leak

Anyone know where I can find a cam plug, cam seal, rubber plug, or whatever they call that plug on the left of the head in NYC? I called around the dealers and they had to backorder them. I need that part ASAP since my friend only has time this week to fix my car. Any place like autozone or whatever has it in NYC? Or anyone in the local area have an aftermarket one I can pick up off them?

Thanks a lot

I'm not really sure how big you need it to be or how well it has to hold because I don't have a newer Integra, but generally speaking, you can go to Ace Hardware or wherever and buy a rubber plug that'd be the right size.

any basic auto parts store such as autozone or napa should carry the part, and if they don't then special order should only take a few days

Get an STR/Golden Eagle billet cam seal. They have double/triple o-rings and look a lot better. Aftermarket seals are about $20-$25. Another option would be to get the redesigned OEM seal with the 2 o-rings.

alright... i just 2 day aired this one:

http://www.pacificperformance....d=107

I figured, the dealer near me wanted $12 and 2 days backordered, I mind as well spend more on a better one that won't leak again down the line. As for the seal, a friend of mine who built his integra up from scratch is gonna work on it for me, so no worries on my part.
