Re: Cam seal oil leak, B18B Integra
LOL! I totally agree with this guy.
Do you see Honda putting hondabond on any seals on the motor? Nooooo. If your using good parts and the surface is good you shouldn't have to use hondabond on brand new seals. Then it's just a bandage. Just a little oil so they don't tear during the install. Yes, you see hondabonds on surfaces that has two mating parts like on the valve cover.

Not only do i build/tune these cars on the sides, but i was a "honda" tech for a few months, until I started to go into the police academy, in tech school they taught us how to use "hondabond" correctly.. get serious dude, look at BRAND new motors.. they have hondabond w/e gasket is.. its a sealent..

ROFL @ some people. I'm not dumb enough to use hondabond on the cam seal. Also, the oil leak is worse than that, it's leaking from the VC gasket too which, I'm gonna replace once I get out of class.
On a side note, what's that screw/nipple thingy in the hole where the radiator hose goes into?
My car just has a threaded hole there.

Yep, exactly like that. I replaced with the metal one.

not sure what the nipple is in that picture, not my car, but on a side note, you did use an ebay cam seal, so its possible it wasnt machined right and isnt a perfect fit causing some oil to slip past, i do highly recommend using the password jdm version or blox version, they work much better then the OEM seals.

See now it makes sense....my tech school didn't have a Hondabond class. My bad!!!
If you like to Hondabond everything then that's you. Don't start calling people names just 'cause they don't do what you do.
I've always used Honda seals and never had any issues w/o using sealant where it doesn't need it.
Let's not compare our car resume. Let's just say I work on Hondas as a living.

Re: Cam seal oil leak, B18B Integra
personal experience, used skunk2 cam seal. oiled up 3 o-rings, worked it in there, no leaks... picked all the hondabond out where the oem plastic one resided, did not re-use hondabond- not opposed to it though, but the skunk2 seal worked perfect, $25 shipped on ebay.

Re: Cam seal oil leak, B18B Integra
I just want to find out if anyone knows what aftermarket cam seals fit the B18B. I have a 94 LS with a B18B in it and I was going to get a Skunk2 cam seal for it, but I noticed on JHPs website it says specifically "Incompatible with B18A/B18B engines." Which one's fit the B18B?
Here's the page where it says that:

Re: Cam seal oil leak, B18B Integra
So I recently replaced my dinky plastic, and leaking cam seal cap, with an eBay metal one with two o-rings. I torqued things down properly and still I leak MORE oil than I did before.
It's leaking onto my transmission, block, in between the last two ports of my exhaust manifold, and, spraying onto my distributor.
Any ideas?

lol there's nothing wrong with using hondabond along with the cam seal. All my friends that work at Honda/acura use it all the time. No one wants a comeback.
