i just ordered a set of cam seals since mine are leaking. does anyone have pics or instructions on how to do this. this is being done on a 90 integra

 

um, a set of cam seals? there's only 1...

anyway, go to team-integra.net, there's a very good writeup with pictures on how to do this.

 

its not too difficult, on a 1-10 scale id rate it a 5, it takes a little while to do though, so be patient when you do it.

 

Hah, yeah, there is only one. Are you sure you're talking about the cam seal? Maybe it's something different.

Anyway the cam seal is VERY EASY to install. I can't even explain it here, it'll make it more difficult. Basically, it's like changing a tire. Remove the old one, put the new one in. That's it.

 

yea its the cam seal, not the cam plug. i thought there was a seal for each cam???

Hmm, what's a cam plug? Anyway, if you look at the valve cover area, you can see that there is a cam plug/seal on the exhaust cam side. The intake side has the distributer on it so of course there's no seal there.

EDIT: If you are not understanding this, lemme know, I'll post up a picture.

 

i think youre talking about valve seals

 

im sure its the cam seal because if there wasnt one on the timing belt side oil would get all over the timing then. oh and the one on the distibutor side is the cam plug

 

the article on team integra shows how to replace the cam plug no the cam seals

uh, dude you're really confused. there's the cam seal next to the vtec solenoid. then there's the valve guides or valve seals, is that what you're talking about? there's 16 of those, they go in the head... man no one knows what you're talking about.

 

im f in lost

man if u look there is a seal between the cams and the cam gears. thats the cam seal if u didnt know. if there wasnt a seal there then all of ur oil would come out of the out and run down the block not to mention ruin ur timing belt. and that is the CAM PLUG not the cam seals next to the vtec solenoid. oh and the valve seals( i dont know where that cam from) because when those go out ur car smokes not leaks oil

 

i wasnt diagnosing i was going off the fact that you said seals (plural) and theres only one but there are valve seals - whet was the qeustion again?

 

there is a seal on each end of the 2 cams by the cam gears. on the other side by the distributer there is the one cam plug which is commonly mistaken for the cam seals. i jsut need some direstions and torque specs on how to change the cam seals

 

okay - what kind of head

 

its a stock 90 integra head.

 

so really there's THREE cam seals... the one next to the vtec solenoid, and 2 on the timing belt side, one for each cam... (what motor do u have?) #24.. is that what ur talkin about? if so, looks like u just remove the cam gears and slap the new seals on..

yep thats what i have need tryign to figure out is how to put them on. #24 is what i ordered. anyone know the torque specs on the cam gears.

 

rs ls gsr?

 

its a 90 integra gs. well guess i need to order a cam plug too then jsut to be safe

 

sounds like you need a helms dude - if you look hard enough online youll find one

 

get a helms and have fun!

 

To clarify things up:

The one next to the distributor is the CAM PLUG..

And there are (2) CAM SEALS on the opposite (timing belt side), like stated, ONE for each CAM.

And to install it, you have to have experience taking the cams out. On a scale of 1-10 I would say its about a 6. Make sure to expect your valve cover gasket and make sure that when you reinstall, everything is torqued down to spec.
