googling your first part number led me to this page.

Looks like its for a 02 honda civic.. and maybe also works for a CRV and MDX

^^Thanks man.

I think they ordered they wrong seals for me, but I'll wait for Billman to get back to me on it also to see if Honda made an upgrade or something.

12342-PCX-004 is what I have in stock

From what my honda guy tells me, any part number with PCX in it is specific to the s2k.

bumping thread.

i just pulled my spark plugs and noticed that 3 of the 4 spark plug cylinders had a fair amount of oil in them. my seals are brand new, less than 5k on them and i followed billman's instructions on what to do.

2000 s2k w/ 90k miles

any suggestions?

i noticed that the rubber part at the bottom of my coilpack is loose too.

check the torque on your sparkplugs. I'd remove the plugs, clean them up and clean the coilpacks, and reinstall to proper torque - 18 ft lbs. Take a peak at the seals with a flashlight and make sure they are hugging the sparkplug tubes and don't look out of place or cut.

thanks for the reply. i did that today. i made sure that my plugs were tightened to spec, cleaned the plugs and coils up, and also shined a light onto the inner seals and everything looked properly seated with no cracks.

im going to check my car at the end of this week and see what happens. you dont think that this has anything to do with my loose rubber coilpack bottom?
