Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 So a lady I know has her daughter's '04 Isuzu Rodeo in the shop for some major work. Don't recall the nature of the original issue, but her mechanic sent her a text and said he needs one of these things - whatever the heck it is. My first thought was a cap for the cam cover - but evidently not. Any ideas? Oh... can't really tell, but it appears to be threaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Why, it's a whajamajigger for the whoknowwhoozit that works the thingamajig. You mean you didn't know??? Seriously, knowing what part of the engine he took it off of might help. Also, why does he need another one? That one looks just fine as long as the O-ring at the end is replaced.

Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Freeze plug? Although it looks a little bit too substantial for one. She might have to ask where it came from on the engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one looks just fine as long as the O-ring at the end is replaced. I suggested exactly that to the lady... that she suggest to her mechanic he might just try replacing the seal. "But he said it would leak oil!"

Red Wolf Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 So the mechanic needs to replace it, but doesn't know what it is? That seems a little odd. Red Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G W Wade Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 If your mechanic can't put a new o-ring on it and make it work, maybe need new mechanic GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 Not my mechanic*. She just asked me if I could help her find one. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, but need to identify it first... and it's evidently not what I thought it was. And yeah... I think she needs to consider finding a new mechanic for future needs. *My mechanic (when I don't do it myself) is my son ~ and I taught him.

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Her mechanic didn't identify what it is in his text? He just said get me one of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 IIRC, Isuzu Rodeo's of that vintage had Honda Pilot Engines. Maybe check with your local Honda dealer????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Wolf Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I looked on rockauto under engine parts and couldn't find anything like that. Red Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laramie Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 It’s a casting plug for when they machine the heads for the camshafts. I’m not sure why you couldn’t just replace the o-ring. Have a little compassion for the mechanic! Did you look at his hands?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
