H23: Replacing seals while t-belt is out
Howdy---
As some of you know I am slowly working to refresh my H23 while it's out of my car. Currently doing the timing belt, and I figured I may as well replace some seals down there while I"m at it.
My question is - how can you be sure these seals are seated properly/won't leak, aside from using the seal drivers that the Honda guys use? The seals I'm doing are:
1-cam seals (prob pretty easy)
2-front balancer shaft seal
3-front crank main seal
4-maybe the o-ring behind the rear balancer shaft gear case, between it and the oil pump? Apparently the dealer does this oil o-ring w/ timing belt change.
Any advice / know-how related to replacing any of these seals would be very much appreciated
Thanks.

Yup I agree, got the water pump done already. Got this H23 from a guy who wrecked his car, 110k on it at the time it was pulled.

Re: (PetroGuyX)
Thanks for the replies folks....
Knocked out the cam seals this evening. Was looking at the front main seal too...what's the best way to get that bugger out? looks tough. I had a loose oil pump from my blown engine, and I couldn't get it out w/o pushing it from the backside. Will be tough to do that with the pump on the motor...
