torque the inside cam cap bolts to 16 lbs./ft., and torque the two bolts at each end (cap # E1, E5, I1, and I5)on both the intake and exhaust side to 8 lbs./ft., they should be smaller then the rest.

When you use Hondabond to seal them also go a little out of the journal and onto the flat area under the cam cap and around the bolt holes. The cam seals are prone to leak.

It is not necessary to remove the cams to replace the cam seals. If you do, the 12mm cam cap bolt spec is 19 ft./lbs. The 10mm bolt torque spec is 7.2 ft./lbs which I round up to 8 ft./lbs. I am pretty sure that the cam gear bolt torque spec is higher than either of the torques listed in previous posts. I am going into work later and i will post it for you. I think it's around 45 ft./lbs. , but I will let you know for sure later.

Don't remove the caps- it is very easy to pinch the edge of the seals when you reinstall the caps and they can leak. Just remove the cam gears and pull out the old seals with a pick or small screwdriver. Lube the new seals with some grease (especially on the lip) and install them by placing them by hand and then push on them with the open end a properly sized socket or something similar (like a deep 27mm or something). A little grease on the outside of the seal will help it slide in easily.

Re: Cam Seals Tech. (fixhondas)
Can someone tell me how many cam seals are on a 98 GSR? I've decided that I am going to replace them while the motor is out and I am knocking the timing belt, water pump, etc....
Thanks!
