Default cam seal problems?

I have a b16a and the cam seals poped out twice in two months (cam gears side).Is there any reason why this would happen? Is there anything i can do to cure this problem?

Not installed right would be my guess. If you get them all the way in there flush, then they shouldn't come out.

I've seen this problem on accords. Too much crankcase pressure and the balance shaft seal pops out. For the accords they have a retainer that you can install to prevent it. You dont have an accord though, so i dont know. Too much pressure is my guess.
