Did you replace both vtec solenoid gaskets?

dunkd

i replaced the vtec solenoid gasket and the screen, part #12

Caveman74

There are two screens. The rubber gasket looses its fitment

dunkd

where is the other screen?

its probably the cam cap.

30 minutes to pull off the head?? are you serious..takes at least an hour...would be so bad if it weren't for those 2 bolts on the underside of the IM. and to the one guy who said something about no problems with head bolts...they do sometimes stretch...i am going to invest in ARP head bolts....I head they are pretty strong...anyone know where to find some?

Turned out to be the Distributor O-Ring for me. I even did a write-up on it:

Might help (being the distributor o-ring, not replacing it, although it should be the same).

thats the thing leakin.. i replaced the vtec seloniod gasket and it kept leaking.. replaced the cam seal w/ an str aftermarket one and it leaks no more.. </TD></TR></TABLE>

This what i had leaking, get an str one. I to have one because i was leaking in the same spot and haven't had any leaks from that area in a long time. I believe it is very common with these b-series motors.

i thought it was leaking from the head gasket

I have had that problem with my b16 at first i thought it was my head gasket so i got really scared cause i know that a major project to fix then i paid really close attention and saw that it was my exhaust cam plug that was leaking the oil .. u should check that really good rinse off your engine then start driving around or even gun your car around to get that oil pumpiN.. then see where its coming from.also check your distributor to see if it also has a leak . but hopefully its not your head gasket ...

i also had the same problem it was the Cam seal i got one from STR cause the stock one doesnt have a o-ring and the STR has 2 o-rings, all good now

NathanMorris

have the same problem - still waiting to fix it soon.
Exhaust cam seal :-/

my recomendation.... Check if there is oil under distributor... if so.. it is the O-Ring on the dizzy.. also check the cam shaft seal.... if leaking go get a STR or even Golden eagle seal.. i just put a KMS seal on my bro's car
