the part #s on that site are not actually Honda part#s. But that should let you know what you need to know and for how much.

nobody knows???????????????

The PN for the A20 are as followed
breather chamber itself is 11850-PJ0-750
Chamber to pan tube is 11854-PC6-010
Chamber to PCV is 11855-PH3-J01

Not sure about the a18 I'm assuming its for the 86 lude?
Chamber 11850-PC6-020
Chamber to pan tube 11854-PC6-010

Looks like the difference in the chambers is due to the size of the chamber to PCV tubes

Hope that helps

so is that the same on all a20's? and yes its for a 86-87 lude

[Vinny]

I beleive they are the same for all a20's. I gave you the actual part number follow Kroys link above and see if Majestics numbers are the same for all the a20's. If they are, which I believe they are then they won't be usable on the a18. The actual A18 breather chamber is about 40 bucks. Is the actual breather chamber bad or whats the story?

im auctually checkign for a guy on preludepower.com. his is clogged ro soemthign they have traced it to the oil breather as beign the problem. its clogged or soemting cuz oil is having a hard time getting back into the pan. i told him i mite be abel to get one off a lude in a junkyard near by but it woudl be sucn a bitch gettign it off. i have a20a3 in my basement and i said if it was the same i woudl just sell him that one. but i dont want to do that if the oil bearhter off my a18 in my lude wont og onto the a20.a nd i dont want to sell him the breather if it wont work on his car. on majestic they dont acutully have the breather on there anyware.

i believe it may be the same. should be in the same location and length, but still, if you can maybe get a length hose to replace the old one or something. i think i will be replacing mine because that was part of my oil leak. its pretty hardened, i had to put a tighter hose clamp where mine goes on the oil pan. also, mine leaked around the connection on the oil breather metal pipe where the rubber hose fits on to the pan. i put some rtv sealant on it, seems to work. i did that today.

[Vinny]

Just call majestic and give them the number I gave you for the lude breather chamber. That IS the honda number and they will be able to get it off THAT number if it is still available. The A18 and A20 breather are not the same and are not interchangeable as far as part numbers go. I even asken my local honda parts guy...answer was no way no how. if they were the'd be listed together

ok thanks Vinny, thats all i wanted to know. where does the top tube go on the oil breather? in the intake mani or what?

[Vinny]

it should go to the PCV valve. Actually the tube is what the valve sets in, or on the accords it does
