Ok on the intake cam seal on the timing belt side i cannot seem to get it to stop leaking i have yet to replace the seal i put it together without any sealent (sp?) and it leaked so i tore it apart again and put some high temp black silicone and it still is leaking also the cam cap that is closest to the cam gear is a little worn nothing major as far as i can tell, all the rest are fine could this cause it? i also noticed that while the motor is running i watch the intake cam gear ( aem) and it doesnt look to be spinning completely true, but the exhuast is spinning perfect.... please and help

 

use honda bond gasket maker not silicone....as for the cam not spinning....best thing to do is take the came out to look at the camshaft and caps to see if anything is interfering with the spinning of the cam. did you lube the cams before installation?

 

the cam shaft spins free no scores on the shaft or anything but when the motor is running u can see the cam gear it looks to be bent....

 

put your stock on on and see if it spins freely. if it does than its your gears if it doesnt maybe your camshaft

 

I got to go find a stock one i was reading that if it was in fact the cam that is bent it wouldnt spin free and hardly even spin? also the cap cap journal did have some minor wear nothing really bad and it was only just this one cap...

 

what cams do you have?

 

itr right now....

 

Since i dont have the stock cam gear is there a difference between the exhaust and intake cam gear?

 

cam gears...not that i'm a aware of

 

i think im a put my exhaust cam hear on the intake side and vice versa and if the cam gear still is not spinning stright then i KNOW for a fact its the gear

 

let me know

 

this is what im going to do replace both seals use some hondabond and switch the gears to the opposite sided

 

anyone else with any ideas?
