what is the name of this part

My phone won't let me upload a picture, so ill describe it. I'll get a picture later. Well I have a d16z6 when you remove the valve cover there are 4 O shaped things at the very top. 3 of mine go down but 1 is stuck but I don't know the name of it. Any help?

Since there are 4 of 'em, I'm gonna go ahead and guess you're talking about the spark plug tube seals.

Underneath your valve covers are most likely your gaskets. and those O rings acts as a sealant to prevent leaks from the engine.

No its not the seals, but what I'm talking about is located directly above the spark plug wells. If only my phone would let me upload a pic....

There's a lot of O-shaped things in that pic. Maybe post another with you pointing to it?

I think you may be talking about the top of the cam/rocker bracket... Though I thought there were only 3 O-shaped areas on the top, and from my experiences... they don't move.
