Anyone familiar with this? I'm getting ready to reinstall head. Helms manual says to clean oil control orifice and replace o ring. Diagram shows o ring on top of orifice. I did not see any o ring when I removed. The orifice is flush with the block/head mating surface. This ring also did not come with gasket kit.
Thanks in advance, K
Find something like an easyout that fits the hole in the orifice plug and gently spin/grab/pull upwards on the plugs (there is one for each bank) until they come out of the block. The O-ring goes in an annular groove around the diameter of the plug.
So... timing belt broke?
Thanks for your reply. So the o ring is under the orifice? The diagram in the Honda manual shows it on top of the orifice which doesn't make sense. Something does not seem right here. The cylnder head had to be repaired cause it got damaged when trying to remove stuck plug connector. Anyway its fixed and ready to replace. Everything is set except for this issue with the orifice. I don't want to reinstall without being 100% sure.
I have another question. I did not remove the camshaft or anything else from the cylinder head. All looked fine. I was wondering if I can replace the camshaft seal without removing the camshaft? Thanks, K
Again, the O-ring goes AROUND THE ORIFICE PLUG.
I can't even visualize that happening. What "plug connector" got stuck?
In this case I would remove only the front bearing cap where the seal resides, this removes clamping pressure from the seal, then it is easy to remove/replace with light finger pressure (no special tools). Clean the bearing cap mating surfaces and use tiny dabs of sealer in the indicated spots before reassembly if instructed by the service manual. The alternative is to pry out the seal, then press in a new one with a socket and driver.

OP has posted about this before, in one of the Honda groups.
OP has provided very little information; as far as I can determine, he was using aftermarket plug wires, and one of the boots somehow melted itself to to the spark plug tube. OP tried to clean the crud out and wrecked the spark plug tube. So he removed the head in order to have the tube removed.
