I noticed oil on my engine block about a week ago and then saw its combining from the left side of my exhaust cam. Is there a seal or gasket there? Bc I noticed a black o-ring thing that was sticking up and ripped. I have a b18b1 btw. Ill post a pic if needed

 

the black o-ring thing is your cam seal....

 

replace it, it is like a 3 dollar part, you may also want to replace the valve cover gasket and spark plug groments while your at it

here is a linky with the part#s http://acuraautomotiveparts.org/acur...s=&view=normal **lol that one doesn't have the cam plug **

here is the one for the plug http://acuraautomotiveparts.org/acur...s=&view=normal

I forgot to mention that my dad is the general manager at carquest(also knows a lot about cars, built his own z28 and many more) and he looked to see if there is a seal. He said there is one on the cam gear/timing belt side but not on the other.

 

definately gotta get that fixed.

 

Thanks a lot man. Ill buy those once I get off work and can use the desktop lol.

 

is it number 7 in the diagram(RUBBER, CYLINDER HEAD SEAL)? im on my BB and its kinda hard to tell.

 

yep

7 12513-P30-000 RUBBER, CYLINDER HEAD SEAL 1 1995 INTEGRA 6.59 4.94

*edit* put a decent amount of gray RTV sealant on it or if you got the cash get some hondabond

alright will do. i know i have RTV in the garage. thats what my father thought it was that was acting as a seal how much is hondabond? where do i get it? only honda or any parts store. ive never bought it so i wouldnt know haha

 

If youre going to replace the cam seal on the exhaust cam on dizzy side, then i suggest aftermarket cam seal
When honda put their cam seal in the engine, it doesnt really have any type of rings on it to actually do the "sealing" portion of it after a while.
Aftermarket ones u can get for about $20 and they will have actual rubber rings on them. I recently bought Golden Eagle Cam seal for about $30 and it has 3 Rubber ring seals on it... verriii niicee.

Hondabond is expensive at the honda dealership... well, it is out here in illinois at least. I called them and they wanted $35 for a small tube of hondabond. Thats ridiculous!! Go online and look at different boat shops... shops or stores that sell or work on boats have rtv sealants as well as HONDABOND considering Honda is a boat(watercraft) engine as well.
Got mine online for about $18

 

check ebay for hondabond. sometimes people have brand new tubes for 9-10 bucks! or buy a few tubes for one money.

 

the right stuff is another VERY similar sealant. both it and hondabond are much more sticky than general RTV. if your dad works at carquest he can get the right stuff pretty cheap. made by permatex if i remember right. i've used it many times in place of honda bond and never had a leak.

 

this article discusses your problem exactly: http://www.team-integra.net/sections...?ArticleID=576

 

if you go to a honda dealer it's only 10 or 11 $ at the parts counter.
