well i have a few questions. ive searched and read up a bit and i feel that i want to try this with a buddy...whats the worst that could happen right ..anyone know any other sites to help besides the c-speed site...also it says to use assembly lube and honda bond...my buddy edgar says i can use oil for the assembly lube which im probably gonna do since my engine is in use and i was just basically curious about the honda bond part???is it really necessary and why?..thanks for the help...any tips would be appreciated

 

Use just a little Hondabond HT on the corners of the valve cover gasket, eight spots in all. You can use oil as assembly lube, but there are a few people around that insist assembly lube (like ARP moly lube) is the only way to go. Just make sure to install the cam caps in the right locations, they are numbered. Torque the 12mm bolts to 19 ft/lbs. and the 10mm bolts to 8 ft/lbs.

 

thanks b19...on the cspeed site it says something about using the h-bond on the cam caps i believe..whats the dilly with that

 

Some people use a little Hondabond on the cam caps at the ends to prevent oil leaks (not the middle cam caps), just a touch. And on the cam plug at the end of the exhaust cam.

 

anyone have some detailed pics..actually will the helms manual tell you exactly how to do it cause im gonna be using one of those

 

yes the helms manual will tell u everything u need to know, down to where to apply assembly lube and hondabond.

 

I'd use assembly lube if I was building a motor on a stand, but if you're putting this cam in a car that you're going to start up when you're done, oil is fine.

It's kinda hard to describe where the drops of Hondabond go. There's a little corner created when you put the caps on the head. It's hard for the gasket to fill that little corner. That's where it goes. You could actually use any hi-temp RTV. I got Permatex Ultra at my local auto parts store and saved some money.

They both work for me

 

He should be able to see where the silicone sealer goes b/c of the residue on the bottom of the (4) outer caps. Use a thin smear.
