93civic_b18b1

I currently have a b18c1 in my 93' honda delsol.....we finished the swap about 3 months ago and everything runs great. The motor had been rebuilt before I bought it...new head gasket, new gaskets all the way around, new water pump, etc. Only problem is it leaks ONLY oil out of the head gasket?????? I'm not sure what to do....anyone have any suggestions or experience with this...please help out....thanx in advance

try retourque the head,otherwise youllneed a new gasket. i have a 5k mile type R headgasket if you need it $25 shipped to you,its just sitting here colecting dust.

never use a used head gasket

Tru dat!

Hey is the oil leaking at the corner just below the Vtec solenoid? Or is it all the way around the head gasket.

Reason I ask is the cam cap behine the Vtec solenoid is known to harded over time and leak oil where it'll collect at the headgasket corner below the Vtec solenoid and run down the tranny casing. If that sounds more like your problem then you just need to replace the cam cap. No need to pull the head.

HTH,

unfortunately its leaking mainly on the side opposite from the tranny (the right side if your looking at it from the front of the car).....so its not near the distributer or vtec sol.

Yeah and you have to mill the head and block flat to get it to work right.

OEM gasket is that thick for a reason . . .

Its probably just your cam seal dude.
