not too difficult

pretty much all integras have this problem... i should fix mine, but i dont feel like doing all the work...

 

[soto2635]

is there anyway i can do it with just taking the bracket of the seal itself instead of removing the whole camshaft?? i really dont want to take the time belt off and fuck something up

 

[pepsilude]

nah, you would be able to get the seal out or on.

so the whole camshaft has to come out just for that lil shit??

no jus buy the cam seal and a valve cover gasket. jus did mine yesterday. pop the valve cover off, take off the last cam cap, (might need a rubber hammer to loosen the cap, and replace the seal. someone posted a link above. probably a write up. i painted the valve cover while i had it off lol

so u didnt take the whole camshaft off?? u just did the one holding the cam seal in right?? as for the link above yea its a write up its a step by step process talking about removing the whole things thats why i was debating it if i should do it myself

ive got the b18a1 and the whole cam dont have to come out.

 

[soto2635]

thats what i though but the write up says otherwise

my bad, you can do it without taking out the camshaft. i just looked at a head in my room. i guess that guy in the write up is doing it by the service manual.

The bolts are the biggest thing to remember. They don't need a lot of force to be tightened, so you can snap them easily.

ok cool

cam seal is prett simple just remember to have the torque specs and go by them and use honda bond as well it helps alot

which cam seal are you talking about?

the one on the right of the dizzy can be done without taking the valve cover off....all you do is take a flathead screw driver and pry it off and install the new one

the other camseals however will require you to take the valve cover off and remove the cams and such
