My head is leaking out from between the block and the head by the bottom left corner when you open the hood and it is a common thing for honda motors. I think that the head is warp maybe the block or both. Friends said it could be the head gasket but i changed it this summer already. i might of torck it wrong so maybe if anybody know the info for torcking the head. And do anybody know where i can resurface my head or block

 

Probably the cam plug or vtec solenoid.

 

Every B series I've own its always had some oil sitting there.Did you check you cam seal,and see if its leaking from the vtec soleniod.

 

You might want to check the cam cover or the distributor o-ring...it might be leaking from there down.

But I had the same issue as yourself, mine as leaking from the front left corner between between the block and head. I was running a 2 layer HG that I put on my b18b and had torqued down properly and still leaked even though I sprayed it with copper head-gasket spray. Then I took the factory 3-layer head-gasket, sprayed it with copper spray and installed it and it's been holding up perfectly fine.

I'd check the condition of your head-gasket and give spray with the HD spray and torque it down properly. If it still leaks, have your head/deck checked for being warped.

 

well my engine was overheating sometime in the summer could that cause my head to warp but i check the vtec solenoid. oh where did you take your head to torque

Overheating can cause it to warp...but mine did that aswell due to bad thermostat/rad cap and it even got into the red on a few occasions but I turned it off and let it cool down.

Like I said, if anything pull off the head and check your Haynes manual on how to check for cylinder head warp.

 

i am knew to this problem and your not so where can i get the haynes manuel and how did you fix your problem and do you have the any information about how much to torque the head bolts
thanks!

Haynes/Chilton manual from any automotive store. Since you have a b18c/5 then you will need to buy one for a Type-R engine, but since they might not be available, then integra GSR manual will do fine.

Like I said, pull off your head, take it to a machine shop or get the manual and find out how to check your head for warpage.

If your head is fine, check your head-gasket, spray it with copper head-gasket spray and reinstall it with proper torque specs and it should seal fine

 

where can i find the copper head-gasket spray? At a store, shop?

yes, automotive shops/stores

 

Don't use that ****. Just replace the gasket, have the head milled if necessary (don't if it's not, it messes up cam timing) and put it back together.

I'll be honest though, if it's not dripping on the ground, I wouldn't even bother.

 

oh is it just the head that is causing the leak
