Ok Im pretty sure that I am losing alot of oil from here, does anyone know how to fix this and where i can find a replacment part.
Detailed intstructions would help if possible
thanks in advance

 

take off the valve cover, remove the two bolt holding the cam holder. remove the seal, replace with new seal and honda bond, replace valve cover and your done

 

could you elaborate on where these two bolts are that hold the cam?
maybe with a pic?

 

here you go


Just remove those two bolts and the cam plug should come right out. is that where your motor is leaking?

Technicaly, the cam seals sit right behind the cam gears on the other end of the motor. the cam plug is close to the red circles.

yea there is alot of black oil drained all the way from there. Volcom your responses have been fast and very helpful
one more question though
where can i find a replacement and how much are they does anyone have a number off acuraautomotiveparts that i could be linked to to buy??

 

 

try GoldenEagle MFG. cam seals.

 

i just replaced my gsr two days ago...easy stuff...make sure you dab with hondabond or high temp sillicon where needed...i used and aftermarket billet piece...thats says bling bling!...dont over torqe the bolts either

 

if you cant get the cam cap off...pry it off carefully with a flat head screw driver

 

I just bought mine from the dealership, it was about 8 bucks. I still have yet to put it on. I just keep wiping the oil to keep it clean.

 

STR cam seal, its steel not plastic $15 at jdmparts.com

 

i beleive they are alunimum...its what i used on both of my b18c...they are not suppose to leak ever again

 

My old plug was rubber, and I just replaced it recently with the redesigned OEM plastic plug w/ O-ring. I hear it's alot better than the old rubber ones, so we'll see. I think the plug was about $4 from Carland Acura. I coated the plug all the way around w/ Hondabond before installing.
