Honda OEM Cylinder Head / Timing Cover Plug - B/L/R Series
Missing a plug from your cylinder head or timing cover? This is the genuine Honda plug that fills the oil passage ports on B series cylinder heads and timing covers on R and L series engines. Sometimes referred to as a cam seal, this is a simple part, but if it's missing or leaking you'll end up with oil leaking from your head or timing cover. This single part number covers both applications depending on your engine. Part number 12513-P72-003.
Two Different Applications, One Part Number
This plug serves two different purposes depending on which engine you're running. On B series engines (B16, B18, B20), it plugs a port on your cylinder head. On R and L series engines, it's used as a timing cover plug. Check the fitment list below to see which application applies to your car.
