Honda planned it all out so things like that wouldn't be an issue. Also, with the abundance of aftermarket parts for Honda D and B series motors, it should be almost impossible to not find the part you're looking for.

the honda dealership here sucks. i knew this job wouldnt be a problem, and i knew that honda made their motors easy for a reason and this was a big part of it. they just like to try to squeeze out every drop of money they can from idiots (myself inculded :happysad: ) i knew they were ripping me off, but my father thought it in our best intrests to trust these guys at least for the time being because they were "professionals" ... a week later my car was leaking, they screwed up "something" (wouldnt tell me what, i think cv boot) while doing the first job
i dont wish to ever bring my new sol there
