✓[Replacement Part Number]: Direct replacement for factory OE reference numbers 12341-PLC-000, 12341PLC000, 12342-P2F-A01, 90442-P2A-000; Interchangeable with aftermarket part numbers VS50576R, VS50358, 036-1608, VC4034, VS12398, VS50252.

✓[Engine & Trim Verification]: Tailored specifically for 7th generation 1.7L D17 series single overhead cam engines. Verify engine displacement prior to purchase—does not fit 8th generation Civic 1.8L R18A1 engines (2006-2015), 2.0L K20/K24 engines, 1.6L D16 engines (1996-2000), or Civic Hybrid 1.3L LDA engines. Check the 8th digit of your VIN to confirm engine configuration.
✓[Problem & Solution]: Resolves oil weeping around upper engine head perimeters, burning oil smell near exhaust manifolds, and oil pooling inside spark plug wells causing P0300-P0304 engine misfire codes. High-temp ACM elastomeric compound resists thermal hardening and engine bay vibration, while full-perimeter spark plug tube seals maintain dry ignition chambers.
✓[Maintenance Tips]: Apply a small dab of high-temperature RTV silicone sealant exclusively at the sharp 90-degree corners of the camshaft cap humps. Torque valve cover hold-down bolts evenly in a crisscross sequence to factory specifications (7.2 lb-ft / 9.8 Nm) to prevent rubber grommet distortion.
