how do i change my valve seals in my civic. i have a d15bvtec motor.
I hear there is a way do it without removing the head. Is this possible? I wanna do it myself.

Was there any previous posts with this same topic. could anybody help me out. PICTURES WOULD BE A GREAT HELP.


THANKS..

 

I would recommend that you take it to a machine shop

 

Thats a job. I wouldn't do it yourself unless your mechanicaly inclined. you don't have to take the head off but your going to need some tools and an air compressor to pressurize the cylinder so the valve won't drop. Best bet is to buy a manual even if you don't decide to do it there nice to have around.

 

thanks for the info. would you guys though, would happen to have pictures of a job like or similar to this

 

yea, bring it to a machine shop.

 

You don't need to take of the head, but I wouldn't recomend doing it that way, because your valve guides are messed up, and so are you valve seats. I would just rebuild the whole head.

You can bring up the cylinder to TDC that you are working on, pressurise the cylinder with compressed air (compressor and compression tester line), then you can take off the springs to get to the valve seals without dropping valves inside your motor.

 

this isnt for a honda but will give you the general Idea http://www.lincolnsonline.com/article40.html
