I have a few seals leaking, and I pretty much have all the parts I want to replace except for this one cam seal shown in the picture here:

(I believe this is the cam seal correct? right in-between the head and the V-tech solenoid?)



I have read a few forums with people having leaking cam seals similar to mine and buy some USDM B16a2 cam seals as replacement but have then not fitting properly. I know this is a common B series problem and would like to know what other people did when facing this problem for their JDM B16a. If someone has part numbers please let me know!

Thanks for your help in advanced!

The USDM seal is the same as the JDM version. A lot of people buy an aftermarket cam seal from companies like Blox made out of aluminum with 3 O-rings.

okay, thanks!

I ended up buying the oem one for the b16a2, and I also bought the genuine honda one for the B17 motor which has three O-rings and looks almost identicle to the skunk2 seal

Sometimes you'll see people/parts counters refer to them as a "cam plug."
