I'm hoping someone can tell me where I can find this part: Spark plug tube for Honda Odyssey 2000. This part is press fit into the cylinder head. I have removed the damaged one so I know it must exist as a part somewhere. Honda parts centers do not sell this. Thanks in advance K

I think those tubes are considered a permanent part of the head. They are not available separately from Honda, as far as I know.
You may want to try an autmotive machine shop. There may be aftermarket tubes available, but only to the trade (like Worldpac).
Why did you remove yours?
The plug insert got fused into the tube and I damaged it trying to bore it out. I was changing the plugs when I noticed the plug connector was cracked and looked like it was just left like that and glued back probably by previous owner, who not suprisingly, is nowhere to be found. I took the head to a machine shop who said they could not remove the tube, but a friend of mine said that was BS. He took it to a diesel mechanic friend of his and brought it back to me in less than an hour with the tube cleanly removed. He said if I can find the part it should be no problem to tap back into place using locktite. He says if I can't find the part that he could cut the damaged one and add a coupler in the middle and reinsert. So I thought I might be able get some help here. I will try both of your suggestions which I appreciate very much, thank you.
Thanks, K
