    Re: Engine oil cap?

    depends on if it's a steel valve cover or the aluminum prelude cover, I'm not sure if the accords with aluminum cover take the same one as the prelude cover, the prelude cover takes a cap like much later generation Honda's, I know I can screw a 98 civic cap into my aluminum 2nd generation lude cover, but not the steel valve cover. I have an aluminum cap that fits the steel cover, but it needs an O ring

    Junkyard should be good for an OE cap. Otherwise, it should be a straightforward replacement item from any auto parts store. Just ask at the counter.

    there is a difference, the earlier caps for the steel valve covers are harder to find.

    Rockauto used to sell the o-ring/gasket. I got two of those long ago and replaced the ones in the 3G and in the 5G civic (both have aluminum covers and use the same cap)
    If it ain't broke... I fix it!

    Yes, I am saving a original gold top A20 cover for garage art just for that reason. I have never seen another one in my travels !
