Re: oil plug leaking
ok yah I did notice the threaded hole on the back of it. I can't quite picture how that would work. I'll have to take it apart again I did get it real tight when I installed it. I was woundering if anyone else had this problem? mabey I could put an extra o ring on or something teflon tape idk.

Mine have leaked too. Last time I had the engine off I slathered it with Hondabond before tapping it in. Seems dry since.

Re: oil plug leaking
ahh yes. I think that is the solution.
Now the threaded hole serves a purpose

I did not intend for the reader to get the impression that I relied on Hondabond alone to secure the pump plug.
The Hondabond filled the gap between the case hole and the plug, but the plug itself is secured by an extra-large fender washer, properly shimmed to apply pressure to the "mushroom" end of the plug. The tapped hole may prove useful if it ever needs to come out; Screw in a 6mm bolt and then use the bolt to pull out the plug. Use a gentle touch with a slide hammer if necessary.

Re: oil plug leaking
you can use honda bond on the plug before you install it to get a better seal.milkhuman wrote:theres no where to hondabond, and anything else, would blow out. or suck in.

Re: oil plug leaking
honda bond is a rtv like sealer you smear some around the plug and install 24hrs later the honda bond is set and your plug is sealed

Re: oil plug leaking
yes you do need the washer spaced out to hold it in place the honda bond just helps the big job the little O ring has to do .

If you don't mind can't you explain this spaced out washer to hold it in place? I have no clue what you mean and I'm installing mine in a few days. A picture with an explination would be awesome if its not to much of a bother.

Once again, my use of Hondabond was only to seal. The plug is secured with a fastener over a large washer, shimmed to apply pressure to the plug. Don't overdo the Hondabond and it'll be fine.

Re: oil plug leaking
sometimes the plug wont sit flush with block so you need to add a washer or two on top of the plug.Cherreh SR wrote:paulpauly7 wrote:yes you do need the washer spaced out to hold it in place the honda bond just helps the big job the little O ring has to do .

This is trafficjamz picture. looks like this plug is flush with the block.
